Marriott International, Inc. has recently unveiled two exciting developments set to enhance the experience for business travellers travelling to Hong Kong.

First, the hotel giant has partnered with Victoria Park Hotels Ltd. to introduce The Park Lane Hong Kong, Autograph Collection in early 2025. This addition, nestled on Gloucester Road in Causeway Bay, will offer 820 guest rooms, three dining venues, and over 1,700 square meters of event space, promising unparalleled luxury and convenience for guests.

Yibing Mao, President of Greater China at Marriott International, expressed delight in expanding their footprint in Hong Kong,

We are delighted to work with Victoria Park Hotels to bring Autograph Collection Hotels to Hong Kong. It further underscores our commitment to grow our footprint in Hong Kong, an iconic international destination known for its unique culture that connects east and west. We look forward to providing broader breadth of our best brands and experiences that appeal to travelers around the globe.

Meanwhile, Charles Chan, CEO of Victoria Park Hotels, hailed the collaboration as a celebration of Park Lane’s 50-year legacy and the city’s rich heritage. He said,

Victoria Park Hotels are excited to work with Marriott International for our flagship, The Park Lane Hong Kong. Joining the Autograph Collection brand is a perfect match, recognising Park Lane’s 50 years’ legacy in Hong Kong and celebrating its’ uniqueness, whilst enjoying the strong global distribution and loyalty strength of the world’s leading hospitality organisation.

In another significant move, Marriott Bonvoy, the company’s acclaimed travel programme, has joined forces with Cathay Membership program, Cathay’s loyalty scheme. This collaboration opens up exclusive benefits for members, including two-way points conversion and accelerated status upgrades.

Alison Yang, Vice President of Revenue Strategy, Loyalty & Partnerships for Greater China at Marriott International said,

As the travel industry continues to transform, we are committed to curating and delivering the best experiences to connect our members through the power of travel. Together with Cathay, the expansion of our global airline partnership program presents an opportunity to engage more members in the region as they go even further and explore new destinations around the world. By unlocking a new wealth of rewards and privileges with both loyalty programs, members are encouraged to partake in a broader variety of experiences and benefits, while forging genuine connections with people and places as they learn more and feel more deeply in their next adventures.

Paul Smitton, Director of Customer Lifestyle at Cathay, echoed the sentiment, emphasising the partnership’s commitment to enhancing member value and facilitating seamless journeys,

Strengthening our partnership with Marriott allows Cathay members to unlock benefits even when they’re not flying. Members can enjoy more ways to earn and redeem their points and miles, providing greater value add to the program. This enhancement reaffirms our commitment to building our Travel Lifestyle brand and exemplifies our approach to delivering a connected customer journey.

Among the new reciprocal benefits, members can elevate their status across both programmes through accelerated pathways, while enjoying enhanced points conversion for increased flexibility in redemptions. These initiatives are poised to redefine the travel landscape, offering unparalleled opportunities and rewards for business travellers globally.
