The B P International, also known as the Baden-Powell International House, is a 25-storey, three-star hotel and conference facility situated in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Managed by The Scout Association of Hong Kong, which also houses its offices within the building, the hotel exhibits minimal Scouting-themed branding. Its location is at 8 Austin Road.
Hotel
With a total of 529 guest rooms and seven suites, B P International can host more than 1,000 visitors, offering contemporary conveniences. The upper ground floor features the Gordon Wu Hall, a conference space capable of accommodating up to 1,000 participants. Parking is available on the first five levels of the building, providing over 500 spaces. Guests can choose from three dining establishments situated on the basement and ground floors.
While the hotel is connected to the Scout Association of Hong Kong, it functions as an independent commercial entity with limited visible Scout elements in its public areas. Discounted room rates may be available for Scouts upon request.
Scouting
As part of the Hong Kong Scout Centre, B P International is operated by The Scout Association of Hong Kong, which occupies floors eight through eleven.
In July 2005, B P International was suggested as the venue for hosting the 9th World Scout Youth Forum and the 37th World Scout Conference; however, these events were eventually conducted in Hammamet, Tunisia.
Music
The band Eraserheads recorded their track "Cutterpillow" from their third album Cutterpillow in room number 1417 at this hotel.
