The Collection Hotel at MGallery Collection Hong Kong

MGallery Collection by Accor opened its second Hong Kong property, AKI Hong Kong, in the vibrant Wan Chai district, officially welcoming guests in July. The hotel was developed by a team led by Aedas Executive Director Chun Hang Tong and Aedas Interiors Director Alan Hamilton, creating a tranquil retreat in the popular business and commercial area adjacent to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and Causeway Bay. AKI means crystal, and the hotel's facade uses transparent glass curtain walls, making the building glow like a luminous crystal in the city center and projecting a refined, elegant hotel image that resonates with the international atmosphere of Wan Chai. The design adopts a minimalist Japanese style, achieving a balance between efficiency and ecology beneath the discreet crystal silhouette. Guest rooms are located on floors 5 through 25, and the hotel also includes an all-day dining restaurant, lobby lounge, outdoor garden, whiskey bar, and fitness center. Compared to the bustling city outside, the hotel's public areas are like a quiet and comfortable oasis. We drew inspiration from the Japanese spirit of Omotenashi, reinterpreted traditional Japanese ryokan through a modern architectural language, and expressed meticulous hospitality through various details, creating a homecoming experience for guests far from their homes, says Chun Hang Tong. The overall design is based on a minimalist and refined aesthetic. The front desk and lobby lounge resemble a genkan entryway and living room, creating a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere for guests.
