LANSON PLACE HONG KONG

In Hong Kong's heavily developed Causeway Bay area, one of the most spirited shopping districts in the world with retail rent rivaling New York's Fifth Avenue, a 26-storey hotel of charismatic design offers a sanctum of calm and seclusion. With its stately facade of grey stone, modelled after neo-classical European designs, Lanson Place is a boutique hotel that stands with a confidence which rivals that of any early 1900s building.

Inside, the decorating scheme developed by Joseph Fung of SP2 and Simon Tong of LRF Designers subverts expectations with a mix of classical and retro-modernist fittings. The unconventional interior design works, not by way of being bold and quirky, but by its tasteful restraint. The minimalist aesthetic, which persists even in the smallest of spaces, serves to open up the hotel by a fair amount - an important consideration, as anybody familiar with the limitations of Hong Kong real estate would know.

Ranging between 35 to 56 sq m (380 to 600 sq ft) in area, all of Lanson Place's 188 guestrooms are unique in both their layout and appearance. Wherever possible, natural light floods the luxurious accommodations by way of floor-to-ceiling windows. In the middle of Causeway Bay, minutes from boisterous local teahouses and the flagship stores of famous international design houses, Lanson Place offers a remarkably different view of the city. Situated in a quiet enclave on one end of Leighton Road, its rooms overlook the nearby Victoria Park and distant mountain scenes. Six penthouse serviced apartments are well suited to longer stays and may be the most extraordinary addresses yet on the East Point.

True to its aim of creating a haven for discerning visitors and travellers who frequently travel to Hong Kong, As they enjoy the full use of hotel facilities and undivided attention of the service staff, guests are free to relax or work as they please, especially with the provision of ubiquitous wireless Internet access.
