Launched in March, The Silveri Hong Kong – MGallery perches high atop Citygate Outlets’ new extension, and it is Accor Hotel’s first MGallery by Sofitel in the city. The new five-star boutique hotel comprises 206 rooms and suites, an executive lounge with outdoor terrace, two meeting rooms, a 24-hour gym and a 25-metre outdoor swimming pool. Islanders will also be interested to note that the hotel’s modern bistro, The Enclave, and its deli/ coffee shop, Fresh, are open all day for dine-in or takeout.
MGallery hotels typically combine a cutting-edge look with a design that’s steeped in the story and culture of their location, and the Lantau property is no exception. As interior designer and lighting designer of its lobby and other common areas, LWK + PARTNERS has created a series of refined, inspiring spaces that celebrate Lantau’s past, specifically its once rich silver mines. References to silver are achieved not only through the hotel’s gleaming glass cladding, but also in the interior’s recurring silver-moon design motif and imagery of silver talismans. The silver accents stand in contrast to the natural tones of wood and leather that are used throughout, as well as the verdant hills that surround the property.
MGallery Hotel Collection is a brand to watch, with not one, but two hotels opening in Hong Kong this year. Following hot on the heels of The Silveri Hong Kong – MGallery, AKI Hong Kong – MGallery is set to open in Wanchai in just a few months’ time. Upcoming MGallery destinations in Greater China include Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Wuxi Dangkou Ancient Town.
