LOCATION
The Pottingers’ location is along one of Hong Kongs oldest streets giving the Hotel its name “Pottinger Street” and on the corner of “Stanley Street”. The name giver of the hotel was Hong Kongs first Governor, Sir Henry Eldred Curwen Pottinger. The Pottinger Street is more commonly known (particularly throughout older Hong Kong residents) as the “Stone Slabs Street”. Due to the unevenly use of granite stones to pave the street.
A 75m long air-raid shelter was built underneath Pottinger during World War 2 but as never been used. In the 1980s’ the tunnel was filled up because of arising concern amongst Hong Kongs Cabinet of a tunnel collapse.
The Pottinger is at the heartbeat of Central district. Central is a neighborhood overflowing with restaurants, shopping, entertainment and cultural option. Never far from the next thing to see, something to eat or drink – Central is the most historical yet modern part of Hong Kong.
ABOUT
Opened in 2014 the Pottinger Hotel obtains the charm of the long-held heritage within its artwork and the Chinese centered highlights.
The Entrance and Lobby with its pastel colors in pale pink and sunset yellow extend all the way to the interior of the rooms. The high ceiling in the lobby with hand painted silk wallpaper in soft shades of rosé, grey and silver add a sophisticated vibe to it – the fresh flower bouquets brings a cozy modernity with it.
Along the corridors the Pottinger Hotel exhibits a collection of the notable photographer Mr. Fan Ho’s pictures. Ho became wold famous for his black and white Photographs of Hong Kong and its people. He received for his pieces of art more than 280 awards. His lifework can be found in private and public collection world wide – so for example the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and Melbourne Museum.
