History

In 1979, Hong Kong tycoon Lui Che Woo of K. Wah Group partnered with Holiday Inn to build his first hotel in Hong Kong for HK$300 million. [1] The hotel was originally named Holiday Inn Harbour View. [2]

By the 1990s, the hotel was valued at more than HK$1 billion and became K. Wah Group's flagship hotel. [1]

Later on the hotel was sold to IHG Hotels & Resorts and was rebranded to InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong. [2]

The hotel has been regularly used to host the delegation of Chinese Olympic Games athletes during their visits to Hong Kong. [3] [4]
