Hong Kong is a buzzy, high-energy metropolis, a city that never seems to sleep. There can be something to discover around every corner, and it can be exhausting to explore, so a tranquil escape in which to unwind after a busy day is essential. Lanson Place, located in the heart of the city at Causeway Bay, makes for a very serene sanctuary. Originally opened in 2005, this luxury hotel has just undergone an extensive renovation, courtesy of renowned designer Pierre-Yves Rochon and his studio PYR, famed for its interiors at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, St Regis Rome and George V, Paris.
The new-look property now offers an elegant home-from-home feel across its 188 rooms and suites and six penthouses. The refined interiors, inspired by the colours of the Côte d’Azur, employ a palette of soft tones. ‘The renovation respects the DNA of this institution, which is both a private and personal hotel and a sanctuary amid Hong Kong’s hustle and bustle,’ says Rochon. ‘The key principle has been to respect the property’s soul, creating a timeless address with a character inspired by nature, the allure of France’s southern coast, and the richness of the art deco period.’
In the lobby, designed as a transitional retreat from the city, there’s a bas-relief artwork by Michèle Létang depicting the graceful trajectory of a bird in flight, a richly textured rug by Galerie Chevalier Parsua and a resplendent Murano glass chandelier. Leading on from the lobby, visitors encounter the winter garden, adorned with lush green foliage and bathed in natural light from its floor-to-ceiling windows. Here, contemporary wicker furniture and brass-framed, mirrored ceilings accentuate the feeling of being outdoors, while orange trees fill the air with citrus scents that evoke the south of France.
The first floor unfolds into a series of welcoming living spaces, each with its own unique charm. Custom-built 1950s-inspired furniture in ivory, pastel blue and light oak hues are arranged in a series of three ‘rooms’ for guests to gather in small groups or individually. Light oak parquet runs the length of the floor, and original artworks punctuate the spaces. In the newly configured guest rooms, natural walnut tones and whitewashed wood feature prominently, with accents from one of three colour themes: pastel blue, celadon green or pale yellow. Meanwhile, one- and two-bedroom penthouses occupy the top two floors and are intended for guests seeking a longer stay. Delicate ivory and beige tones and plush fabrics adorn every surface, all carefully curated to create an oasis of unparalleled sophistication.
Lanson Place Causeway Bay, Hong Kong is located at 133 Leighton Rd
