Seeing a shortage of open-air event venues in Hong Kong’s CBD, the JW Marriott Hong Kong has created a new semi-outdoor event space on its premises.
Located at Level 7 of the hotel and adjacent to recently-reopened sustainable dining outlet Fish Bar, the PRESIDEN dining room offers panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and a private balcony. It is connected to HarbourDen, a semi-outdoor space which boasts stunning harbour views and are ideal for pre- or post-meeting social gatherings.
The hotel’s general manager, GP Yeow, shared that the new space can host about 80 to 100 people for cocktail events. The new space can also be split into two, and rented separately.
The minimum expenditure for private bookings of each venue is HK$30,000 nett (US$3,839), which includes the required setup and F&B consumption.
The hotel has also integrated sustainable practices into PRESIDEN. For instance, all materials wooden all from certified sustainable source like South Africa; staff uniforms of Fish Bar are made by fabrics such as coffee fibre, recycled polyester and designed by students from Caritas Bianchi College of Careers in support of local youth career development. Additionally, digital menus, rechargeable LED lights, and reusable water-absorbent ceramic coasters are employed as alternatives to the traditional methods.
JW Marriott Hong Kong has also rolled out a series of sustainable initiatives such as the Meet Green at JW Meeting Package, Stay Green at JW Room Package, and Sustainable Gastronomy.
