SHANGRI LA reports that the US$30m refurbishment of its flagship Pacific Place property on Hong Kong Island is virtually complete.
The fact that the hotel only opened in 1991 is testimony to the group's insistence on keeping its properties really up to scratch (hotels don't usually go in for major upgrades for at least 20 years).
Perhaps the most noticeable of innovations is the installation of a TV in the bathroom.
There”s a complete new dressing table/worktop too which includes plenty of electric plugs (three pin UK style) plugs, Internet, printer and DVD.
85% of clients are on business and the hotel has very quickly recovered from the SARS disaster of last year, now running with very high occupancy rates. Our photo shows a typical harbour view room.
