Regal Hotels International (RHI) is one of the largest hotel groups in Hong Kong. Regal Hotels International Holdings Limited is a company incorporated in Bermuda and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Ownership

[edit]

The company is controlled by its chairman and managing director, Mr Lo Yuk Sui [zh], who speaks for 52.84% of the issued share capital as at 31 December 2005. Lo is the second son of Great Eagle matriarch Lo To Lee-kwan (born 1918).[1][2]

REIT

[edit]

In October 2006, the company announced plans to sell and separately list its hotel properties in a Real Estate Investment Trust.[3] However, as the Sunlight REIT spun off by Henderson Land Development fell by 6.5% on its market debut on 21 December, Regal chose to delay its offer.

On 13 March 2007, Regal announced its public offer for sale of up to 50 percent in Regal Hotels Real Estate Investment Trust, to be co-sponsored by Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch,[4] and raised HK$2.3 billion.[5]

The hotel consisted of two 15 floor towers, a six-storey atrium, a Chinese restaurant and 90,000 square feet (8,400 m2) of convention space. Due to declining trade, the hotel was sold to Hospitality Investors Group of Scottsdale, Arizona in 2004 for redevelopment.[6] Now owned by Park'N Fly, the hotel was demolished in 2011–2012 and is currently a vacant lot.
  • Regal Bostonian Hotel, a property opposite Faneuil Hall in downtown Boston opened in 1981. Regal bought the hotel in 1996 and sold it to Millennium & Copthorne Hotels in 2002.[7] Now operates as Millennium The Bostonian.
