The new hotel features 218 rooms and suites tastefully decorated in pastel shades and full-length windows from which to take in the sweeping views of the mountain and the sea. Walls are adorned with local art, taking their cues from the cultural icons of the region, allowing guests a chance to embed themselves in the local community.

The hotel celebrates Sheraton’s rich heritage as a central pillar of the communities in which it sits around the world and a place where locals and international travelers alike can come together and cultivate emotional connections. As part of the community program, Sheraton Hong Kong Tung Chung Hotel has partnered with a local bee farm, Mui Wo Lychee Hill Holiday Farm to offer exclusive tours for guests. Chefs also incorporate the organic honey from the bee farm as well as other locally sourced produce into some of the signature dishes and drinks including the Honey Bourbon Old Fashioned at Sunset Grill. A dedicated Community Manager is a friendly face that is always on hand to help guests and locals with anything they need, while also delivering unique guest experiences through curated community programs and local partnerships.
The art of bringing communities together flows throughout the hotel, including in the Executive Lounge, designed to offer comfort and connectivity for executive floor guests and Marriott Bonvoy Platinum members. The space is a relaxing sanctuary for guests to stay productive, savor complimentary breakfast, or unwind after a day of work with happy hour drinks and canapés.
The hotel has four distinctive dining venues, offering multi-faceted culinary journeys for every palate. Sophisticated destination dining on offer includes the Sunset Grill, a rooftop grill restaurant, a temple to dry-aged meats and all-things perfectly grilled to order. Guests can converse over artfully mixed cocktails on the outdoor terrace before settling in over dinner in an inviting intimate bistro grill setting.
