Hong Kong's convenient and charming hotels

The Hong Kong Mandarin Oriental Hotel is located at 5 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong, China, overlooking the Victoria Harbour. The hotel was built by Hongkong Land, a famous real estate developer in Central, Hong Kong, and opened in September 1963. At that time, it was named Mandarin Hotel and is the flagship hotel of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. The combination of tradition and modernity, the West and the East is a feature of this hotel. The 541 rooms and corridors are based on wood color, black, and yellow, creating a deep atmosphere. Upon entering the room, the most eye-catching thing is the balcony, which is very rare in Hong Kong hotels. Here are Hong Kong's famous French and Cantonese restaurants, and it is connected to shopping centers such as Landmark Plaza and Prince Building, which is very convenient and attractive for tourists. The biggest highlight of the hotel is a fan that is the treasure of the hotel. This handmade folding fan was made in Guangdong around 1870 and is very exquisite and luxurious. The design of the fan is based on the theme of 'thousand faces', with a black base and gold outline on the fan bone, and the fan surface is colorful, vividly depicting the luxurious social life of ancient Chinese aristocrats. The characters in the fan are gorgeously dressed, sitting and walking, with different postures and pleasant expressions. Now guests can admire the folding fan at a prominent position in the hotel lobby and stop to take pictures. The ancient fan seems to be a miniature of the hotel, breaking the echo of time and space. Among the top luxury hotel brands in the world, Mandarin Oriental definitely occupies a place, with its own power, fanning the 'elegant wind' of the East to the world. Although it is a very old hotel, the lobby is still crowded on weekends, and it can be seen that many are regular customers. The 'doorman uncle' at the door is this MO exclusive landscape, the red uniform, and the golden fan logo behind, this scene, full of Hong Kong flavor. Mandarin has a deep relationship with the court, so you can see court elements decorations and artworks everywhere here, which are classic and timeless.
