With flight suspension now lifted for nine countries, including Australia, Canada, France, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, the UK, the US, and Nepal, a lot of Hong Kong residents returning to the city this month have been scrambling for quarantine hotel bookings.
To accommodate the demand, the government announced on April 12 that community isolation facilities Royal Pacific Hotel, The Kowloon Hotel, and Cordis, Hong Kong, will be converted to quarantine hotels starting April 14.
From May 1, four hotels that are currently reserved for foreign domestic helpers – Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong in Sha Tin, iclub Ma Tau Wai Hotel, O’Hotel, and Rambler Garden Hotel – will start accepting other Hong Kong residents returning to the city. Domestic helpers who have already made their bookings at these hotels will not be affected. Bookings will be open starting from April 19, 10am.
With all the new additions, a total of 14,000 rooms will be available in May for the mandatory quarantine of inbound travellers.
