The Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong is a five-star hotel on Connaught Road Central in Central, Hong Kong, owned and managed by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group. Construction of the hotel on the site of the colonial Queen's Building on the waterfront in Central Hong Kong was announced on July 9, 1960, with the name Queen's Hotel. On August 24, 1962, the South China Morning Post reported that the unfinished hotel's name had been changed to The Mandarin, because "a nationwide survey of the United States seeking American reaction to the hotel name shows that the American public, who comprised the majority of this Colony’s tourists, preferred the exotic-sounding Mandarin." The topping off ceremony was held on March 28, 1963. The cost of construction was HK$42 million, and HK$66 million was spent on interior decoration. John Howarth, of the Leigh & Orange architectural firm, designed the building, while the interior was designed by Don Ashton. More information...
