Hong Kong’s newest hotel joins SRS-WORLDHOTELS

SRS-WORLDHOTELS, one of the world’s leading global hotel reservations, marketing and sales organizations, has signed Hong Kong’s newest four-star hotel, the soaring Harbour Plaza Metropolis, as a member of the First Class Collection.

With 690 rooms towering over the Kowloon-Canton Railway Station in Hung Hom -- Hong Kong’s principal public transport gateway to China -- Harbour Plaza Metropolis immediately ranks as one of Hong Kong’s biggest hotels.

Its location alongside Hong Kong’s direct rail-link to the industrial and manufacturing Chinese heartlands of Shenzhen and Guangdong position Harbour Plaza Metropolis as a premier hub for both business and leisure travellers.

The China border is just 45 minutes away by train; Hong Kong International Airport is 40-minutes away by taxi or shuttle bus.

Complimentary shuttle buses also link the hotel to the bustling ‘Golden Mile’ tourist and shopping centre of Tsim Sha Tsui, which is a 10-minute stroll away.

Facilities at Harbour Plaza Metropolis are of the exceptional standard the hotel industry has recently come to expect from the owner-operators.

The 690 guestrooms and suites are elegantly designed with state-of-the-art communications, including broadband internet links. Executive floors and a Business Centre offer superlative facilities for businessmen, including full secretarial services.

Facilities for conferences, banquets, meetings and functions are also available, with professional staff catering for all types of business and social gatherings.

The swimming pool has a spectacular view of Victoria Harbour. Keep-fit facilities also include a well-equipped gymnasium staffed by professional fitness counsellors.

Food and beverage outlets include two restaurants and one bar with stunning panoramic views over the spectacular Hong Kong skyline: the signature 260-seat Promenade Restaurant, serving international cuisine, The Patio, an intimate and romantic outdoor Thai restaurant; and The Point, the perfect all-time place for drinks and entertainment.

Harbour Plaza Metropolis is celebrating joining SRS-WORLDHOTELS with a ‘Great Value’ introductory room-rate of just HK$700, valid until March 2003.

“We are delighted to welcome Harbour Plaza Metropolis to SRS-WORLDHOTELS and look forward to a mutually rewarding co-operation,” said Roland Jegge, Vice President Asia Pacific, SRS-WORLDHOTELS. “Harbour Plaza Hotels and Resorts is a dynamic young hotel network with big ambitions – and we’re proud to support them by providing wider reach through an international marketing network.”

SRS-WORLDHOTELS has more than 400 member hotels in its portfolio, representing over 70,000 rooms in 65 countries and 250 destinations worldwide.
