Go there because…
The former Marine Police Headquarters has recently undergone a six-year, US$130 million transformation and is now a heritage hotel, outdoor event space and luxury retail destination. The 120-year-old site occupies 12,000 sqm near Victoria Harbour in Tsim Sha Tsui.

They say…
Occupying a prime site on Canton Road, 1881 Heritage is at the centre of Tsim Sha Tsui’s cultural and shopping hub. Only steps away from Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Hong Kong Space Museum and Hong Kong Museum of Art, the site also neighbours Kowloon Park.

We say…
The outdoor piazza features a giant nautical chart and is suitable for cocktail events for 200 people. The historic trees and Victorian-era boutique hotel provide a pleasant backdrop in the evenings. A number of the original features remain including an underground bomb shelter and passageway, as well as an exhibition hall charting the site’s substantial history.
