  • Harbour Plaza Hotels & Resorts Celebrates Ten Years of Distinctive Service
    COVER STORY Harbour Plaza Hotels & Resorts celebrates ten years of distinctive service By Mark Caldwell the true meaning of WHILE THE HARBOUR PLAZA Hong Kong hotel was being built, an exquisite marble stair- case that had previously graced the Hong Kong Hilton Hotel, was transplanted, slab-by-slab, into the new hotel. When the doors opened on 22 July 1995, the staircase was the centrepiece of its spacious, sunny lobby. It is this kind of attention to detail that makes the Harbour Plaza Hong Kong a truly special haven of hospitality. In the past 10 years, a who’s who of statesmen and superstars have passed through its doors and climbed the grand staircase. Today, Harbour Plaza Hong Kong is the flagship property owned and managed by Harbour Plaza Hotels & Resorts group (HPHR) – a joint operation of Hutchison Whampoa Limited (HWL)’s property arm and Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited. “Before 1994 we didn’t have hotels under our own manage- ment,” recalls Raymond Chow, managing director of Hutchison Whampoa Properties Ltd (HWPL). “Initially we had hotel investments such as the Hilton and the Sheraton. Then we estab- lished the flagship hotel, and created a hotel management company to take care of it.” The Harbour Plaza Hong Kong was part of The Harbourfront, an upmarket office and hotel complex on reclaimed land in Whampoa Garden, Hunghom. It was an integral part of HWL’s ini- tiative to transform the district from a run-down dockside into the premier residential, commer- cial and retail location that it is today. Starting from scratch, the developers designed a luxurious, modern hotel equipped to the high- est standards.

  • History and Reorganisation
    THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED “WARNING” ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT. HISTORY AND REORGANISATION HISTORY The Company’s predecessor, Cheung Kong, became listed in Hong Kong in 1972, and the Group benefits from a long and successful track record of over 40 years. Through investment in the Cheung Kong Group and the Hutchison Group, Mr. Li Ka-shing, our founder and Chairman, expanded the Group’s property development business in Hong Kong. With over 40 years of refinement, we have become one of the largest developers of residential, office, retail, industrial and hotel properties in Hong Kong. Whilst maintaining a strategic focus on property development projects in Hong Kong, the Group expanded its presence to the PRC in the 1980s and to overseas markets in the 1990s. We have also developed a property and project management business to support our development and investment properties. With our expertise and strength in property development and investment, we also developed our business scope to include hotels and serviced suites operations and interests in listed REITs. Key Milestones Some of the key milestones of our development over the past 40 years are set out below: Year Key Milestone 1972........... Listing of the Company’s predecessor, Cheung Kong, in Hong Kong 1977........... Acquisition of Hong Kong Hilton Hotel and shopping arcade, then a 5-star hotel of the Group, which was subsequently re-developed as Cheung Kong Center 1978........... Completion of Braemar Hill Mansions, a major residential property development project in Hong Kong in which the Group had a 50% interest 1978..........

  • A Postcolonial Tour of Colonial Hong Kong
    “You can Live Like a King …” a Postcolonial Tour of Colonial Hong Kong “YOU CAN LIVE LIKE A KING …” A POSTCOLONIAL TOUR OF COLONIAL HONG KONG JAMES W. ELLIS Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University 5 Hereford Road, Hong Kong [email protected] For a long time Westerners were attracted to the Far East by a romantic vision of the Orient. This essay explores how written tourism texts, travel advertisements, and related ephemera, blended fantasy and reality to lure Western visitors to the remote, ‘exotic’ British colony of Hong Kong. Hong Kong was a divided city, with a small British contingent overseeing a large Chinese society. Westerner writers, advertising illustrators, and the tourism industry generally, reflected colonialist perspectives and exploited a largely contrived East-West dichotomy between Hong Kong’s Chinese and British residents, reinforcing an Orientalist view of exoticism and colonial superiority. The essay treats tourism images as cultural relics and social statements, which transmitted disturbing messages about relationships of social power, through a compositional device called visual positional superiority. The essay takes the reader on a hypothetical Grand Tour of colonial Hong Kong, visiting racially segregated Western enclaves, the private world of international hotel “microcultures”, and “contact zones”, where people met in “asymmetrical relations of domination and subordination”. The essay concludes with musings on Hong Kong’s recent effort to change its global identity to “Asia’s World City”, after the British transfer of sovereignty to the People’s Republic of China in 1997. Even in the postcolonial era, efforts to encapsulate Hong Kong’s essence rely on troubling symbols carried over from the colonial past.

  • Hvs Guide to Hotel Management Contracts 2020 Edtion Includes 2019 Survey Results
    EXCERPT SEPTEMBER 2020 PRICE: US$2,000 USA | EUROPE | APAC HVS GUIDE TO HOTEL MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS 2020 EDTION INCLUDES 2019 SURVEY RESULTS Daniel J Voellm, MRICS Managing Partner, HVS Asia Pacific Eunice Wong Senior Analyst HVS.com HVS | Level 7, Nan Fung Tower, 88 Connaught Road, Central, Hong Kong Foreword Why is this guide more relevant that ever? Among all the many peculiarities of the hotel industry, the hotel management contract is likely the most unique. A binding contract between owners and operators, it has evolved over almost six decades. In fact, the first hotel management contract was signed for the Hong Kong Hilton, which opened in 1963. The management contract structure allowed hotel companies to expand rapidly and become what is nowadays known as “asset light”. Of course, hotel owners stand to benefit in that they can bring in management expertise to their property and partake in the financial upside, unlike a traditional lease model. Leveraging their management expertise, the hotel management contract was rapidly becoming the norm in the industry as a take it or leave it proposition to owners. The hotel management contract has become an intricate web of terms and clauses that defines the relation between owner and operator. The balance of power in this relationship needs to be carefully established, which was and unfortunately still is not always a given. Owners need to be on their toes and bring in expert advice from consultants and lawyers to navigate the complexities of an agreement, which can bind them for decades. As the role of the hotel asset manager stands to become more prevalent around the globe and the COVID- 19 pandemic ushers in a new era, this is a space that needs to be closely watched.
