Luxurious new event space makes Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong the choice for meetings and group events

HONG KONG - Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, known for its legendary service and unrivalled location in Central, has recently renovated its event spaces, which are now open for business meetings and social gatherings.

The light-filled venues have been carefully redesigned with a residential feel to evoke comfort and luxury. Featuring 15,500 square feet of elegant, versatile, and technologically-advanced function space situated over 3 separate floors, the luxury hotel can host gatherings as intimate as 12 delegates and up to 600 attendees.

The newly renovated meeting rooms boast an abundance of natural daylight and are individually furnished to the highest standard. The Chater Room conveniently located on the second floor is contemporary in design. This 3,800 square foot stately event space features views over Victoria Harbour and a pre-function area. Adjustable wall panelling transforms The Chater Room into a series of intimate spaces known as Statue Square, Alexandra, Victoria, Edinburgh, and Gloucester rooms, all offering the latest in high-tech functionality while retaining a sense of tradition, calm, and comfort.

The striking Connaught Room on the first floor has a rich history of being the ballroom of choice for Hong Kong’s social elite for over half a century. Comprising six separate rooms that can be combined for a total capacity of 600 guests, The Connaught Room offers sophisticated built-in technology in a classical design with graceful oriental accents. Guests can choose to arrive via the hotel’s grand staircase or by swift elevator access and are greeted at the private pre-function areas, which are also available for hosted themed breaks, receptions, and event registration.

Occupying the hotel’s 23rd floor the exquisitely furnished 1,850 square feet East and West rooms feature priceless works of art. Both rooms, which are perfect for smaller groups, can also be combined to accommodate larger gatherings. An ample amount of natural daylight makes the East and West rooms suitable for boardroom meetings, retreats, private dining, and social soirees.

The banqueting team, overseen by Michelin-starred Executive Chef Uwe Opocensky, has a well established reputation for creativity and award winning culinary excellence ensuring that guests enjoy the finest and most exciting catering menus in Hong Kong. In addition to custom menus, established offerings are readily available as well as bespoke catering especially for any occasion, be it a lavish banquet, a working lunch, or an intimate wedding reception.
