An affordable, contemporary interpretation of traditional hospitality
now open in Hong Kong
Hotel Jen is now open in Hong Kong. Taking its name from the Chinese character which symbolises the Confucian ideal of love and goodwill towards people, Hotel Jen aims to bring the gracious traditions of Asian hospitality into the modern hotel context. In so doing, Hotel Jen aims to appeal to a growing class of entrepreneurs and travellers from around the world.
Hotel Jen’s approach is to provide travellers with the essentials of a quality hotel room without the expensive extras. A clean and functional room, a comfortable bed and a great shower are at the heart of the Hotel Jen experience. The chic, modern design showcases clean lines and functional creativity, and the guest rooms are highlighted with natural colours and light wood finishes.
“Hotel Jen brings an affordable, contemporary interpretation of traditional hospitality to Hong Kong. We created the rooms to be comfortable, functional, and clean to give good value to our guests – the essence of what we feel travellers today are really looking for in accommodation. A return to simplicity,” said general manager Gordon Aeria.
Hotel Jen is located in the Western District, just down the hill from Hong Kong University. The Western District still preserves the flavor of old Hong Kong, yet is just 10 minutes from Hong Kong’s Central business district, the Airport Express and the city’s hottest nightlife centres of Soho and Lan Kwai Fong.
The 280 room independent hotel offers standard rooms, Jen Rooms and Jen Suites, all fully equipped with LCD TV, cable TV, iPod/MP3 connector, wired and, in the case of Jen Rooms and Suites, wireless broadband, personal voicemail service, in-room safe, hairdryers, and more.
