FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Talk about making an entrance—the Kerry Hotel’s
showstopping lobby immediately sets the tone for
Fu’s refreshingly dynamic take on contemporary,
relaxed hospitality. Flooded with oodles of natural
light thanks to eight-metre-high ceilings and
undulating floor-to-ceiling windows that span
80 metres, there’s no ignoring those majestic
panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, which are
perfectly complemented by the interior’s Turkish
onyx marble walls and laser-cut bronze screens.
The lobby then opens onto a waterfront terrace
and a meticulously manicured garden (naturally,
Fu selected all its plants), intertwined with public
walkways that invite laidback strolls to soak up
the scenery.
Guests can bask in even more of those
fabulous views from their rooms, with more
than 60 per cent featuring sweeping vistas of
Victoria Harbour and the city’s iconic skyline. Fu’s
renowned eye for detail sees the rooms decorated
in a palette of cool blues and greys, with
eucalyptus timber, anodised bronze and glossy
lacquer accents. Striking pendant lights, custom-
designed especially for the hotel, offer another STONE FACED
chic Asian design reference. All guestrooms The hotel lobby is
boast complimentary high-speed WiFi, movies on filled with natural light
to complement the
demand, a minibar and a 24-hour butler service
swaths of Turkish
on-hand to help with every request, however small onyx marble walls
it may be.
The hotel is also home to more than 1,000
artworks, making it something of a living gallery for
Asian art, including specially commissioned pieces
by leading artists from Hong Kong, Taiwan and
the Philippines. These deliberately pay homage to
Hong Kong’s unique culture, heritage and beauty,
further cementing the Kerry Hotel’s pride in its
surroundings. The bespoke works include a pair
of tai chi-inspired bronze statues by Taiwanese
artist Ju Ming in the interior and exterior sections
of the lobby, a quirky installation of barber poles
and neon signs by Hong Kong’s Adrian Wong in
the hotel’s Hung Tong restaurant and Red Sugar
bar, and three nature-inspired copper statues by
Filipino sculptor Jinggoy Buensuceso.
