Beginning of a New Era at Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong

HONG KONG--(Marketwire - Sep 20, 2011) - Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong has earned a reputation for providing world-class facilities since its opening in 1989. As part of its commitment to keep the name for providing excellent services as well as to stay ahead of changing market trends and to exceed the needs of its guests, Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong started Phase One of renovation in 2008 including the hotel's Upper and Lower Lobby, all day dining Café Renaissance and 260 guestrooms from 12^th to 20^th floor.

With the recent completion of Phase Two of the hotel's renovation program, the 5 star Hong Kong hotel offers modern guestrooms with the latest technology. A contemporary sense of light and minimalism can be found in guestrooms, dressed in either light or dark wood with a fresh beige accent.

The central Hong Kong hotel's banqueting and conference facilities have a total of over 1,200 square metres in the Lower Lobby, Mezzanine and 8th floors. The facilities include two versatile function rooms, named the Oasis and Concord Rooms, and eight boardrooms. Modern, artistic and elegant are the best description of the newly renovated Concord and Oasis Rooms. Upon entering, one is immersed in the gold and burgundy effects of the decoration. Glittering, modern chandeliers and the colourful LED lighting stir up the ambience of the function rooms. Complementing the lighting and wood panelled walls is the soft burgundy and purple carpet with a touch of oriental flare. The Concord and Oasis Rooms are divisible into four separate rooms to cater for intimate to large-sized events of up to 600 guests for a banquet setting.

Full length windows, a partial glass ceiling, state-of-the-art technology including wireless Internet access, built-in projectors and LCD screens, and contemporary interior design ensure that guests will find every venue to be an inspiring environment for meetings, conferences, receptions, banquets and weddings. An attentive and professional team of event specialists and technicians will be on hand to ensure that all events are a success.
