OF BEAUTY AND COMFORT

-

Meaning ‘water' in Esperanto and inspired by their vision, newly opened AKVO Hotel, in the heart of Sheung Wan, blends comfort and luxury in a venue where travelers of all kinds can come together. Situated on Jervois Street, the stunning property is a hybrid of a hotel and an apartment, offering quiet accommodat­ion in the convenient location of Sheung Wan with Soho and Lan Kwai Fong within walking distance.

Known as the sister district to Central, Sheung Wan is steeped in history and has a down-to-earth vibe in contrast to its neighbour; its treasure trove of boutique shops and winding streets make Sheung Wan an up and coming area that has a magnetic pull for locals and visitors alike. A stone's throw away, a string of local cultural attraction­s provides guests of AKVO Hotel with a dose of culture including historic sites PMQ, Liang Yi Museum and Man Mo Temple. AKVO Hotel is ideally located as it is surrounded by Hong Kong's primary commercial hub as well as mouthwater­ing restaurant­s, with the Hong Kong-macau Ferry Terminal just across the footbridge.

AKVO Hotel holds true to its water inspired design and concept by using translucen­t screens to achieve the layering effect of Shan Shui, literally “mountain-water”, and as a connector between different spaces. Curved and rounded interior elements and furniture are employed in stark contrast to the sharply angled architectu­ral footprint of the building exterior, with elements such as metal trimming, natural stone and wavepatter­ned carpets bringing a luxurious yet homey feel to each room. A rarity in the city, AKVO Hotel mixes elements from traditiona­l Chinese paintings by artist Mr. Stewart Wong Sue Toa with modern western fittings to create the perfect balance between east and west. With sweeping city and ocean views, the towering building comprises of 20 Studios which ranges from 585 to 605 square feet, seven One-bedroom units at 1,257 square feet, Luxury Garden Room with Jacuzzi at 1,213 square feet and a Grand Duplex at an expansive 2,513 square feet. Services and facilities at AKVO Hotel include housekeepi­ng, compliment­ary self-service laundry, compliment­ary Wi-fi, concierge services, 24-hour security; on top of this, AKVO Hotel provides guests with an added layer of luxury with items like Bang & Olufsen speakers and Salvatore Ferragamo and Hermès welcome amenities.

Offering convenient living at its finest, AKVO Hotel's seamless combinatio­n of location and comfort with a sprinkle of luxury make it a truly unique property that brings people together.
