The Eaton Hotel Hong Kong has rebranded as the
Eaton Smart, Hong Kong.
As part of the rebranding. the hotel has
spent over HK$10 million on refurbishing its lobby which includes
a new reception, retail shop, internet portal and indoor and
outdoor bar areas.
Wherever possible, organic elements have
been introduced as part of the look and feel of the lobby,
supporting Eaton’s commitment to sustainability. The introduction
of a 6 metre high by 8 metre wide internal vertical green wall is
an example with this new feature being one of Hong Kong’s largest indoor
vertical walls within a hotel. The green wall features 3600 Sansevieria trifasciata – Mother in law’s tongue or Snake plants.
These large leaf plants were specifically chosen to assist with
improving indoor air quality through photosynthesis which reduces
the velocity of mechanical air handling and the subsequent energy
required to drive the air handling units.
The
lobby also features another sustainable material which is Bamboo
walling and flooring. Bamboo can easily and quickly be re-grown in
a reasonably short time and is typically harvested every four to
five years without actually destroying the plant. In addition,
because of its resiliency, bamboo doesn't have to be refinished as
often as hardwood. This cuts down on the chemicals necessary to
maintain the floor.
Guests and visitors can enjoy viewing
the new green wall while they relax in the newly refurbished T
Garden which is Eaton’s new outdoor bar and dining area. Both
areas are located on level L of the hotel.
The new
Eaton Smart 4th floor lobby features the following
outlet:
- T Bar: The social hub of the hotel, offering tea,
coffee, beers, wines, cocktails and innovative bar snacks.
