Novotel Citygate Hong Kong

Novotel Citygate Hong Kong in Tung Chung.

Novotel Citygate Hong Kong is a hotel in Tung Chung, Lantau Island, Hong Kong, located near the Hong Kong International Airport. It was designed by the architectural firm Arquitectonica, and has the tallest revolving door in the world: 4.8 metres in height and certified by Guinness World Records in 2006.^[1] The hotel resembles an LCD TV, and is visible from the Hong Kong International Airport and surrounding Lantau areas. It is adjacent to the Citygate Outlets and Citygate One office tower.

The original interior design was begun by the late Simon Jackson, who arranged guest rooms in a herringbone design. Following Simon's death, Hong Kong architect and designer, Steve Leung completed the task. In addition, restaurants and bar were designed by interior designer, Yasumichi Morita.

The number three represents “liveliness” in Fung Shui. The hotel entrance features three geometric beds of bamboo in low ground cover, and a still water pool. The revolving door contains 3 leaves and moves in a clockwise direction, represents good luck in and bad luck out. A three-layered circular wooden chandelier in the lobby bar attracts good Fung Shui elements from the landscape features, through the revolving door and to the wooden chandelier.

The Hotel

The Hotel has 440 rooms and suites, an executive premier lounge, seven meeting rooms, a 24-hour gymnasium and a 20-metre outdoor swimming pool. It was designed with Fung Shui features.
