Hong Kong’s new Kerry Hotel
Hong Kong’s new Kerry Hotel is the first to open on the Kowloon waterfront since 1995.
Nestled on the shoreline of Hung Hom Bay on Victoria Harbour the new 16-storey hotel is the city’s first urban resort.

Providing plenty of natural daylight, the hotel’s interior features multi-level podium space with extensive outdoor landscaped gardens that connect seamlessly to many public areas. In addition, a curated collection of more than 1000 art pieces are showcased throughout the property – many of which were specially commissioned from leading Asian contemporary artists to complement the fluid design of the property.
