Royal Garden Kowloon East

For the first time since opening its flagship hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui in 1981, Hong Kong’s iconic Royal Garden hospitality brand is expanding. Tseung Kwan O is now home to The Royal Garden Kowloon East, just minutes away from the MTR station, in the space formerly occupied by the Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Kowloon East by IHG.

Built as a contemporary “urban resort”, the 366-key hotel is imagined as an “oasis of calm” in the city, leaning on nature inspirations and eco-conscious design to create a soothing space coloured in olive and apricot tones. Guests have several room types to choose from, the most interesting options being the loft-style rooms perfect for sharing between friends, and the children-centric roomed themed after safaris and princesses.

The Royal Garden Kowloon East has also repurposed the former spa treatment rooms into seven themed villas situated outside on the grounds, away from the bustle in the main hotel tower – and one of them is even pet-friendly for animal lovers wishing to stay with their fur babies!
