Grand Hyatt Hong Kong Launches New Contemporary Guestrooms

Online, September 18, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Grand Hyatt Hong Kong is excited to unveil a selection of new guestroom floors. The new guestroom design blends the traditional and modern in an elegant, residential style, anchored by a sense of Hong Kong's oriental heritage and contemporary outlook.

Designed by BAR Studio, the new guestrooms have been imbued with striking spaciousness. The bedroom and bathroom are designed to visually blend, creating the feel of one generously large space with the ambience of a sophisticated home. The rooms are intimate, beautiful, effortless and functional. Lines are clean but comfortable and are underpinned by carefully detailed compositions of both forms and materials.

The spectacular views of the Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong skyline are maximised throughout the rooms. An open connection between the bedroom and the bath (screened by an operable roman-blind) allows a direct line of sight to the view from the room entry and brings these views and natural light into this area and the bathroom. The carefully considered layout of the guestroom places the "living zone" adjacent to the windows, creating another dimension to the room experience and allowing guests to truly engage with the view and the unique connection to Hong Kong it offers.

The room and corridor palettes are grounded in the natural finishes and neutral tones of stone and timber, augmented with rich colours and materials; silk wall-coverings in red and gold, bronze metal, anise-toned leather, silk cushions and hand-blown glass light-fixtures with gilded highlights. Throughout the space, Oriental accents are found in the notes of rich colour and detail.

The generously sized solid timber table, positioned to take full advantage of the view, adapts easily from an in-room dining table to a spacious an effective work zone (complemented by the adjacent credenza supplying services and additional storage), with custom lighting designed to accommodate each of these uses.

Acknowledging the history of the hotel, the new guestrooms reflect upon the evolution of Grand Hyatt Hong Kong and embrace the delight of re-discovering familiar elements from previous incarnations; existing photographs and decorative objects from the hotel are carefully incorporated into the new design. In the guestrooms John Young Studio's black and white photographic prints provide a sharp contrast to the soft-toned backgrounds while the large pieces bring a burst of colour into the room, augmenting the luxurious yet natural palette.

The new guestrooms combine an international outlook with a local understanding and bring carefully crafted detail to spaces that are sophisticated, elegant and relaxed.
