Named “Asia’s Best City Boutique Hotel” by the World Boutique Hotel Awards 2014, The Pottinger Hong Kong is a luxurious retreat which marries the charm of old Hong Kong with an exceptional array of modern conveniences. Perched on historic Pottinger Street, also known as the Stone Slabs Street, in the business and entertainment hub of Central, with the Central MTR station only a stone’s throw away, this boutique hotel provides business travellers with a perfect base from which to explore the city.

Blending Oriental flavours with heritage touches, The Pottinger Hong Kong features elegant décor and acclaimed works by award-winning photographer and film director Fan Ho, who captured the striking beauty of the streets and alleys of old Central. This luxurious hotel boasts 68 exquisitely- appointed guest rooms, including the 68sqm Pottinger Suite and six 45sqm Studio Suites, each named after a street near the hotel. Designed with business and leisure travellers in mind, all rooms feature marble bathrooms with Acca Kappa amenities, complimentary wifi, Nespresso coffee machines, electronic safes, 42-inch LED TVs, Blu-ray DVD players, and minibars. In addition, business centre services, shuttle bus transfers, and foreign currency exchange are available upon request.

After hours, enjoy a signature tipple like the Bellini Gradini Cocktail – a concoction of fresh peaches, champagne and grappa – with your business colleagues at the intimate bar area of Gradini Ristorante E Bar Italiano, before moving on to its dining room, where guests can savour authentic Italian dishes prepared by celebrated Italian chef Giovanni Greggio. Highlights include grilled Mediterranean octopus with citrus salad on a bed of hand-picked baby spinach leaves; and pasta with Tuscan sausage in spicy tomato sauce with a generous sprinkling of parmesan cheese.

For those with an Asian appetite, head over to the one Michelin-starred restaurant Ta Vie, manned by chef Hideaki Sato, who will indulge guests with a range of Asian delicacies using simple cooking, seasoning and presentation. The restaurant also boasts a wide selection of wines from the finest Asian vineyards and a range of sakes from small artisan breweries, perfect to pair with the unique tasting menu.

Make sure to wind down your day with a glass of fine wine or a seductive cocktail at The Envoy on the third floor of the hotel. Featuring different types of tea, its signature cocktails include Dewdrops of the Heart – a concoction of redistilled pandan vodka, green tea, jasmine double strength tea, and homemade pandan syrup – and Bandung Breeze, which is made of Absolut vodka, Grand Marnier orange liqueur, simple syrup, watermelon juice, and rose and vanilla tea cordial. If your energy allows, the famed Lan Kwai Fong area is only minutes away, home to a whole slew of bars and clubs waiting to be discovered.

Surrounded by many business giants and financial institutions, a kaleidoscope of dining options, and the most prestigious shopping malls and international brand stores in the city, The Pottinger Hong Kong is the ideal starting point for a corporate journey as well as a city adventure. www.thepottinger.com
