Business Traveller (Asia-Pacific)
Decade of excellence
The Cityview celebrates double digits with a range of special promotions
This September, one of Hong Kong’s greenest hotels will celebrate its 10th anniversary milestone. The Cityview boasts a prime address in Yau Ma Tei, near cultural and urban delights such as Nathan Road and Temple Street Night Market.
Over the past decade, the hotel has undergone major renovations and now boasts modern premier rooms that offer an urban oasis of pure luxury for discerning business travellers. The iconic Cityview lobby has also been redesigned to emphasise the concept of an urban oasis with living walls featuring more than 2,000 living plants and comfortable rattan seating to allow guests to share stories with fellow travellers.
The Cityview has also been a champion for environmental practices since 2008, ranging from banning shark's fin dishes and implementing a total smoke-free policy to developing innovative water heating systems and offering green meeting packages.
These efforts have been recognised with a slew of prestigious awards, including EarthCheck Gold Certification, ISO 50001:2011 qualification for Energy Management Systems by the British Standards Institution, and Silver Award winner of the 2016 Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence (HKAEE).
Other achievements over the years directly relate to improving the guest experience, from the introduction of crowdpleasing Thai restaurant Amazing, and the installation of fast, free wifi throughout the property, plus the additions of free smartphones in every guestroom.
Again, these improvements have been rewarded with the likes of a Certificate of Excellence 2017 from TripAdvisor, and other recognitions from various platforms including booking.com, Agoda and Ctrip.
To celebrate ten years of continuous improvement, The Cityview has launched a number of special packages. At the same time, rather than rest on its laurels, the hotel is looking forward to the next decade and forming ambitious plans to capitalise on upgraded facilities and attract more MICE guests, as well as appealing to more international markets.
