Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港四季酒店) is a five-star hotel building in the Sun Hung Kai Properties-owned International Finance Centre complex in Central, Hong Kong.[1] It was completed and opened in September 2005. It is a 45-storey building with 399 rooms, of which 54 are suites and 519 residential units, as part of the Four Seasons Place (Chinese: 四季匯). It is operated by Canadian-based hotel chain, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.[2]

Guest rooms and suites

The hotel has 399 guest rooms and suites, which offer a variety of vistas from large wall-to-wall windows. Most face Victoria Harbour and Kowloon, while the rest overlook the city and the Peak. There are two styles of guest room - Western contemporary, with silk-paneled walls and marble-floored entry foyers, and rooms with a traditional Chinese influence, featuring sculpted furnishings and gold leaf. The hotel does not have floors numbered 13, 14, 24, 34 or 44.

Dining facilities
