Largest Courtyard by Marriott Hotel in Asia Opens in Shatin

Marriott has expanded its portfolio of hotels in Hong Kong with the opening of the Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong Shatin.

Located next to business, commercial and cultural attractions in the New Territories district of Hong Kong, the property is the Courtyard brand’s second hotel in Hong Kong.

The hotel is the largest Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Asia by number of rooms and the second largest in the brand’s global portfolio of more than 900 hotels.

Simon Cooper, President and Managing Director of Marriott International Asia Pacific, said, “We are delighted to be opening the largest Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Asia, an extraordinary addition to the brand’s global portfolio. I would like to thank our partner in this hotel, the Nan Fung Group, for their support in granting us the opportunity to manage such a magnificent hotel and we look forward to a long partnership with them to ensure the ongoing success of this great hotel.”

Featuring 539 modern-styled guest rooms and suites, guests of the Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong Shatin can enjoy views of the Shing Mun River from the comfort of their guest room.

The rooms feature a functional work area and high-speed internet access. Several guest rooms feature a fish design, emphasizing the natural surroundings of the hotel and river scenery. The Presidential Suite on the 30th floor measures 165sqm and features a living area and master bedroom.

The hotel’s spacious lobby features a casual seating zone with several electrical outlets. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout all public areas of the hotel.

A key element in the lobby is the newly enhanced GoBoard 4.0, which presents up-to-date local information, weather forecasts, maps, and headline news on a 55-inch LCD touch screen. With mobile integration, guests can send directions from the GoBoard directly to their smart phones. Guests can also touch the screen for immediate access to detailed flight information for local airports, popular entertainment and local event information, as well as walking directions to nearby attractions.

Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong Shatin has an unfurling glass art piece that winds across the spacious lobby ceiling. Made from 58,775 pieces of flexible borosilicate glass “fabric”, this creation graces the ceiling and swoops to almost within reach of guests in the lobby, making full use of the open flowing lobby space.

The hotel’s signature MoMo café, located on the 2nd floor, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet, offering a combination of Western dishes as well as Asian favourites. With contemporary design and décor, including two private rooms, all day dining MoMo Café has open and spacious seating, ideal for business or casual gatherings.

Other hotel facilities include the open-space lobby lounge, executive lounge, business centre, ballroom and meeting space, 24-hour gym and outdoor swimming pool.

Owned by the Nan Fung Group, the hotel was constructed by Bordon Construction Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Nan Fung Group.
