Hong Kong’s Hullett House Joins Leading Hotels of the World

Hong Kong’s Hullett House, a design-led heritage development comprising an intimate hotel and five restaurants and bars, has joined The Leading Hotels of the World.

The Leading Hotels of the World is a collection of over 430 independent hotels and resorts, including grand palaces and intimate city hideaways, luxury tented enclaves and expansive self-contained resorts. Established in 1928 by several influential and forward-thinking European hoteliers, it started with 38 founding members.

Its newest member Hullett House, which opened a year ago and is owned and managed by Hong Kong’s Aqua Group, occupies a building which dates back to 1881 as the territory’s former Marine Police Headquarters and which sits strategically atop a hill just steps away from the harbour and Hong Kong’s famous Star Ferry Kowloon Pier, and is a rare example of magnificent colonial architecture.

At the heart of Hullett House lays the all-suite hotel that promises an intimate guest experience and old fashioned, personal service in each of its ten suites. A true celebration of Hong Kong’s rich “East meets West” heritage, the ten suites have been each individually designed by owner David Yeo to embody a period of history and highlight the importance of Hong Kong’s cultural past from its roots as a colonial outpost of Victorian England through to today’s modern Chinese city.

Boasting large private terraces with views over manicured lawns and the surrounding cityscape, guests can stay in a Chinese Imperial suite with hand-painted Qing dynasty murals and a bed fit for an Emperor, an elegant English pastoral suite decorated in restful greens with 26 hand-painted native songbirds, or a vibrant China pop-art suite. All suites offer all modern amenities such as free Wi-Fi, rain-head showers and surround sound system.

The bespoke Hong Kong experience extends to the dining table with the House’s five restaurants including St. George with its dining room reminiscent of a 19th-century gentlemen’s club and fine French cuisine prepared by Michelin-star chef Philippe Orrico, the House’s prized Hong Kong Cantonese restaurant Loong Toh Yuen, the Stables Grill, The Parlour and Mariners’ Rest.

Hullett House owner and creator David Yeo said, “Our vision for Hullett House has always been about keeping alive memories of old Hong Kong and its colourful cultural past, and to give something back to Hong Kong. We are delighted that Hullett House has been accepted as a member of this prestigious global collection and believe this will help us to spread our message far and wide that Hullett House is as unique and exclusive in the Hong Kong market as this magnificent heritage property that we now occupy.”
