THE SPACE

The Apartment:

The interior of the apartment offers a simple but modern and very comfortable look and feel. The apartment features hardwood floors, a kitchen with views over Victoria Park, the largest park on the island. The master room contains a super king size Louis Phillipe style bed with Simmons mattress, a chest of drawers and built in wardrobe with sliding tinted glass doors. The master bedroom also features an ensuite bathroom with power shower. The guest bedroom has a queen size bed with Tempur memory foam mattress and Louis Phillipe style wardrobe. The apartment also has a second 'guest bathroom'. Both bedrooms have harbour and city views.

Unlike the majority of apartments and even hotels in Hong Kong where you look out the window to see other buildings almost within arms reach, the apartment has an unobstructed 180+ degree view of the harbour, park city & mountain skyline. On good days Lantau Island is clearly visible through the harbour channel and if you watch closely you can see the fireworks light up in Disneyland each night. If you are lucky enough to book the apartment on New Years Eve, 1st July, 1st Oct or during Chinese New Year, you will have a spectacular view of the harbour fireworks display. The building light shows every evening on the harbourside buildings are also clearly visible.

The building is accessible from ground level with no steps leading up to the building. It has 2 new elevators. It is occupied predominantly by elderly local Hong Kong Chinese families and is a peaceful place. There are two stairwells/fire exits and fire alarm bells and hoses on each floor. Communal trash bins are located on the stairwells.

We take the safety of our guests very seriously. We have fitted smoke detectors in all rooms and have the latest Samsung smartlock with simple but very secure access codes. The door can be double locked from the inside too.

The entrance to the building is monitored by a security guard 7 x 24. CCTV is also fitted to the ground floor building entrance, lobby and lifts.

There is a fire hydrant located in the apartments kitchen next to the trash bin and building fire alarm and hose immediately outside the front door of the apartment.

There is a first aid kit in the ensuite bathroom cabinet below the sink.
