History
The hotel was opened in 1980 as The Regent Hong Kong (Chinese: ????) and it was originally owned and managed by New World Development. It sits on Kowloon's waterfront with views of the skyline of Hong Kong island.
In June 2001, New World sold the hotel to Six Continents plc for GB£241 million. Six Continents (now InterContinental Hotels Group PLC) then rebranded the property as the InterContinental Hong Kong.
In July 2015, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) agreed to sell the InterContinental Hong Kong to Supreme Key, a consortium of investors, for US$938 million. It was reported that IHG will retain a 37-year management contract, with three 10-year extension rights.
In March 2018, it was announced that the hotel will be closed for renovations in 2020 before reopening in 2021. Subject to InterContinental Hotels' majority-stake acquisition of Regent Hotels, it is to be noted that the hotel will reopen as a Regent once more.
