Mondrian Hong Kong, the vibrant, art-inspired luxury hotel overlooking Victoria Harbour in Tsim Sha Tsui, has continued its impressive winning streak since opening its doors late last year by achieving two more titles at the AHEAD Asia Awards for Hospitality Experience and Design.
At a glittering gala evening in Singapore, Mondrian Hong Kong and Carna by Dario Cecchini proudly took home two prestigious design awards. The “Best Hotel Renovation” accolade was presented to the hotel for the creative design of byKK, whose collaboration with Ennismore brought the project to life, and the “Best Restaurant Design” title was awarded to Carna by Dario Cecchini, the hotel’s signature steakhouse, for the interior concept created by Joyce Wang Studio, in partnership with Ennismore.
The AHEAD Asia Awards celebrate the finest creative minds that are shaping the hospitality design industry. Mondrian Hong Kong and Carna by Dario Cecchini were recognised out of 170+ entries by a group of esteemed judges and industry leaders, which is a wonderful reflection of the incredible collaboration between the hotel’s designers, owner and operators, including the teams at byKK , Joyce Wang Studio, and Ennismore, who combined their energy and passion to create a bold and visionary transformation.
Part of Ennismore, a joint venture with Accor, and the world’s fastest-growing lifestyle hospitality company, with 17 brands, two independent F&B groups, 160+ open hotels, 100+ in the pipeline, 500+ open restaurants and bars with 400+ in the pipeline, Mondrian Hong Kong immerses visitors in the energy of this iconic Asian city. An urban landmark in its own right, the hotel building was selected by Ennismore for its distinctive, futuristic architecture. The brand’s commitment to art and design flows through the entire property; from the spectacular mosaic in the lobby and the dramatic video installation on the 38th floor, to the unique artworks and playful guestroom concept which reflects the city’s rich heritage, this is a hotel that always inspires the imagination and stimulates the senses.
Perched on the 39th floor, Carna by Dario Cecchini is a contemporary steakhouse that lets diners discover the nose-to-tail cuisine of Dario Cecchini, the renowned Netflix celebrity chef and butcher. Conceived as an authentic Tuscan restaurant with jaw-dropping views of Hong Kong’s harbour and skyline, this dramatic dining destination creates extraordinary epicurean experiences.
“Design is a fundamental part of unique experiences, enhancing innovative service in beautiful environments, allowing us to dive into profound storytelling and connect with our guests in a way that’s meaningful and lasting. We are thrilled to win two prestigious titles at the AHEAD Asia Awards 2024. To be selected as the best in Asia in such competitive categories is a true honour, and we are very grateful to everyone who helped us make this vision a reality. Thank you to Sleeper magazine and the AHEAD Asia Awards for this recognition, and to our partners who’ve been with us every step of the way,” said Mr. Dirk Dalichau, General Manager, Mondrian Hong Kong.
