Recreation
and Relaxation
The Conrad Hong Kong is well located for many sites of interest. Guests have direct elevator access to Hong Kong’s most exclusive shopping complex, Pacific Place, and the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) station is just a short distance from the hotel, providing easy access to Kowloon and the Hong Kong Convention Centre.
The food and beverage offerings within the hotel itself rival anything else on offer in the city and beyond. Famed Italian restaurant Nicholini’s was named as the best Italian restaurant abroad by Italy’s Commissione Centrale and has also been named as Hong Kong Tatler’s “Restaurant of the Year” for 13 consecutive years.
Also on offer is The Golden Leaf Chinese restaurant, specialising in exquisite Cantonese cuisine; The Brasserie on the Eighth, providing a wide selection of French-inspired and continental fare; and the Garden Café, serving an international menu against views of Hong Kong’s city skyline. For drinks, the cosy Lobby Lounge and sophisticated Pacific Bar are the perfect spots for a private meeting or a relaxed drink with friends.
Upcoming Highlights
This month, Hong Kong will play host to the 2008 equestrian Olympic games. The three-week programme of equestrian events is due to begin in the city on 9th August. Equestrian events were introduced to the Olympic Games for the first time in 1900, and this year’s competition will involve up to 220 horses and comprise dressage, show jumping and three-day eventing. Six sets of medals will be fought for in individual and team events across the three disciplines, and the Conrad Hong Kong is perfectly placed to offer guests and competitors luxury accommodation and easy access to sites of interest in the city. |
