The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong is a new luxury oceanfront resort hotel situated along Hong Kong’s southern coastline fronting the South China Sea. With its waterfront location, the hotel enjoys a tranquil atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of a city, yet with very convenient accessibility to the public transportation. Inspired by its unique landscape and marine surroundings, the hotel takes the architectural form of two streamlined towers that respond and blend comfortably within the existing topography, on top of a cascading podium with outdoor terraces stepping down towards the seaside. The architectural language creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, bringing in nature into the architecture. The visitors’ journey starts at the gateway of the hotel, all the way up a green rampway which separates the city with natural landscape and scenic view. A serene atmosphere guides the visitors to an elegant porte-cochère. Entering the hotel will be the reception area expanding into the adjacent double-height lobby lounge with full height glass towards the horizon. This interplay of various volumes of architectural space with different vista creates a unique arrival experience. An outdoor promenade is complemented with a comprehensive landscape and sea view, embracing the visitors into an urban oasis. Erected atop the podium, the single-loaded hotel towers maximise the number of rooms, housing 425 oceanview rooms. The streamline and slightly curved shape maximises the façade frontage, offering unobstructed ocean view to every guestroom. The guest room floors lift lobbies and corridors have full height glass opening up to the beauty of the surrounding green environment. The tower cascades at the top floors to respond to the mountain ridge line in the backdrop, providing two signature suites with own private pool and garden terrace. The theme of sustainability proliferates the entire design from functionality to landscaping, making the hotel a recipient of the WELL v2™ pre-certification and the first WELL™ accredited hotel in Hong Kong and China. It is recognised by International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™) for its environmentally-friendly facilities, including introducing nature-immersive programmes to enhance the visitors’ experience to the surrounding natural environment.
