The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong yesterday. Nestled in the southside
of Hong Kong Island with breathtaking views of the South China Sea, the 425-room hotel marks the brand's debut in Hong Kong and its first
resort worldwide.
This opening signifies the expansion of the brand known for its heritage conservation efforts and award-winning offerings.
The waterfront urban resort, a mere 15-minute drive from Hong Kong's Central business district yet worlds away from the city's fast pace, is
the ideal holiday retreat. There is plenty to explore nearby, from taking in the sights and sounds of nature at one of Aberdeen's
numerous beaches and leisurely hiking trails, to rediscovering some of Hong Kong's oldest gems at historical temples and fishing market, or
experiencing the area's up-and-coming cultural scene through charming local boutiques and exhibitions at neighbouring art galleries.
Committed to sustainability and guests' well-being, the hotel has attained the WELL Pre-certification under the WELL Building Standard™ v2,
becoming the first hotel project in Hong Kong and Mainland China to receive this internationally acclaimed recognition. This commitment
extends to environmental initiatives including the elimination of single-use plastics, sourcing sustainable seafood, and an in-situ hotel
farm.
The Fullerton Ocean Park Hong Kong is set to become an oceanfront culinary destination with five dining concepts, including Jade,
the signature Chinese restaurant of The Fullerton Hotel Singapore.
The Cantonese fine dining restaurant will be helmed by the acclaimed Chef Lai Ching Shing. In addition, the Lighthouse Lounge, Lighthouse
Café, Satay Inn offer contemporary indoor and al fresco social space for unique dining experiences. Giardino, an oceanfront Italian
restaurant, to be located on the 3rd floor with alfresco dining, will soon open later this year. To cater to the demand for
meaningful, restorative experiences, the hotel has carefully curated comprehensive wellness retreat offerings to ensure an ultimate resort
getaway. A 24-hour gym, luxury spa and the expansive infinity pool with panoramic sea views provide the perfect setting for enriching
fitness activities and relaxation.
For weddings and major events, the hotel features a variety of outdoor and indoor event spaces complete with stunning sea views, including a
pillar-free ballroom that can accommodate up to 500 guests with a panoramic oceanview pre-function foyer
The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong is a member hotel of Preferred Hotels & Resorts and participates in its loyalty program I
Prefer.
As a member of the Preferred Platinum Program, our associated travel agency is
able to provide complimentary perks when you book through them (and you also still earn I Prefer points).
