The Grand Hyatt Hong Kong is a luxury Hyatt hotel in Hong Kong, and the Asian flagship of Hyatt International. [1] It has been described in a New York Times travel article as a "world-famous prestige" property.[2] It opened in 1989 and is located at 1 Harbour Road, Wanchai[3], adjacent to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
In 2004 the 11th floor was converted into a spa and "hotel with a hotel" named "The Plateau" at a cost of some US$10 million. [4] Encouraged by the results of the experiment, Hyatt now plans to install spas in all its Park Hyatt and some other Grand Hyatt brand hotels. [5]
The Grand Hyatt Hong Kong has been attended by heads of state including Bill Clinton in 1988[6] and Chinese president Hu Jintao in his first visit to Hong Kong.[7]
A reviewer for Forbes Traveller enthused about the views of the harbour and waterfront, feeling that they more than made up for its tendency towards the "pint-sized" rooms typical of Hong Kong. [3]
