The Excelsior, 37-floor hotel in Wan Chai District, Hong Kong.
The Excelsior stands at 281 Gloucester Road, featuring over 1,000 rooms with views of Victoria Harbour and the city skyline.
The hotel opened in 1973 on Lot No.1, the first land plot sold at auction after Hong Kong became a British colony in 1841.
The property contained multiple dining establishments, including the Michelin-starred Yee Tung Heen restaurant and the British-style Dickens Bar.
The hotel closed permanently on March 31, 2019, making way for the construction of an office tower at this central Causeway Bay location.
The building utilized an advanced seawater air conditioning system that drew water directly from the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter.
