Harbour Grand Kowloon, Five-star hotel in Kowloon, Hong Kong
Harbour Grand Kowloon is a five-star hotel at 20 Tak Fung Street in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, owned by Cheung Kong and managed by Harbour Plaza Hotels and Resorts. The building, rebuilt in 1993 on the site of the 1982 Hang Seng Bank Centre, stands on the Hung Hom waterfront near the MTR Whampoa station and the Hung Hom ferry pier. Its lobby features a 15-metre chandelier called "The Crystal Prism", made of 150,000 Swarovski crystals.
The hotel opened in 1995 as Harbour Plaza Hong Kong on the site of Hutchison House Centre, a 1982 building demolished in 1993 for Cheung Kong's Hung Hom waterfront redevelopment. On 28 January 2010 it was renamed Harbour Grand Kowloon during a brand consolidation with its Hong Kong Island sister hotel. In 2019 tower rooms and suites in Harbourfront Plaza opened, linked to the main building by a footbridge.
The hotel sits on the Hung Hom waterfront, facing Victoria Harbour directly, which gives it a strong sense of place within Kowloon. Its restaurants serve Cantonese dishes alongside international food, letting guests taste local flavors without leaving the building.
The hotel stands at 20 Tak Fung Street in Hung Hom Bay, near Whampoa MTR station and the Hung Hom ferry pier. During exhibitions, a free shuttle boat runs from the hotel's private pier to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, taking about eight minutes. The 2018 Whampoa Meeting Centre on the same floor as the ballroom has seven meeting rooms of 400 to 2,000 square feet with natural light.
The hotel's 2018 lobby renovation removed the fountain that had stood before the grand staircase since opening. In its place hangs "The Crystal Prism", a 15-metre chandelier made from 150,000 Swarovski Strass crystals, suspended near the ceiling.
