Novotel Citygate Hong Kong () is a four-star accommodation located in Hong Kong, inaugurated in April 2006 and operated by AccorHotels. The establishment comprises 440 guest rooms, including 14 suites ranging from 26 to 45 square metres, complemented by three dining venues, a bar, a fitness center, an outdoor swimming pool, and facilities for meetings.
Situated advantageously on Lantau Island, this hotel caters to both corporate and leisure visitors exploring nearby destinations such as the Citygate Outlets shopping mall, AsiaWorld–Expo convention centre, Ngong Ping Cable Car, Hong Kong Disneyland, SkyPlaza, SkyCity Nine Eagles Golf Course, and the fishing village of Tai O.
Design
The interior concept originated with Simon Jackson’s herringbone arrangement for guest rooms and was finalized by Hong Kong-based architect Steve Leung. The design of the restaurants and bar was crafted by Yasumichi Morita. Landscape architect Sandy Duggie integrated Feng Shui principles into the garden and sun terrace to enrich the ambiance for guests.
Feng Shui motifs are evident throughout the property: the entrance showcases three geometric bamboo planters symbolizing vitality, alongside a tranquil water feature. The hotel’s revolving door, measuring 4.8 metres in height—the tallest globally since its installation in 2006—features three leaves that rotate clockwise, representing the ushering in of fortune and the departure of misfortune.
Within the poolside garden terrace is the white marble sculpture titled ‘Trans for Matter’ created by Italian artist Polo Bourieau. Water flows from this piece through a wooden sundeck channel into an expansive granite waterfall.
Facilities
The hotel provides 440 rooms and suites with views encompassing the airport, sea, and mountains, including two rooms designed for accessibility. Amenities include broadband internet access, three dining establishments, a bar, seven event rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, and a gymnasium open around the clock.
