ALVA HOTEL BY ROYAL, opening in late 2019, is a new and exciting hospitality concept as part of the Royal portfolio under Sun Hung Kai Properties Hotels, located in the heart of the Shatin neighbourhood. Curated to ensure a seamlessly guest-centric experience, ALVA HOTEL embodies a forward-thinking, accessibly luxurious ethos: all guestrooms and facilities are designed with a devotion to detail. There are a variety of diverse dining outlets, a fitness centre and a rooftop swimming pool. Situated on the picturesque Shing Mun River, the hotel provides savvy city-explorers with an opportunity to discover Hong Kong’s culturally rich sites like a local. The hotel instigates a spirit of discovery within all visitors, echoing the modern philosophies of its namesake, Thomas Alva Edison, one of the greatest inventors in history. Fresh, dynamic and smart, ALVA HOTEL is dedicated to creating a genuine experience for all guests. Also meaning ‘friend’ in German, ALVA exudes a welcoming and friendly atmosphere to ensure all guests are well looked-after throughout their stay. Designed by Japanese architectural firm, Nikken Sekkei, ALVA HOTEL’s façade and landscape enhance its position as an oasis in the city. The interiors of ALVA HOTEL are inspired by the surrounding lush greenery, designed by renowned local interior designer and founder of BTR Workshop, Norman Chan. An air of serenity is apparent as guests arrive at the spacious sunlit lobby, amplified by the fresh and modern decoration; with the huge trellis of growing foliage and a range of plants decorated throughout the area, guests are greeted by a warm and welcoming ambience.
