Appointed by a syndicate of lenders, AlixPartners has assumed responsibility for leading the transaction process following constructive discussions with, and the full cooperation of, the borrower and the hotel manager. With the assistance of Savills, the appointment of the Receivers is designed to provide greater execution certainty for prospective buyers and to offer a structured and viable path towards the successful completion of the sale.
A Trophy Asset of Unparalleled Distinction
With 1,219 guest rooms, the Property stands as the third largest hotel in Hong Kong by room count, an extraordinary dual-branded complex under Marriott’s operation, housing both Sheraton and Four Points by Sheraton. With a gross floor area of approximately 610,000 square feet and completed in 2020, this configuration is virtually without precedent and represents a scale of institutional-grade hospitality that is simply irreplaceable.
The Property has demonstrated robust operating performance, achieving a blended occupancy rate of close to 85% in Q1 2026. Both hotels consistently rank among the highest-rated properties on major OTA platforms including Expedia and Trip.com, outperforming the competing hotels within the Airport City.
Beyond its impressive room count, the Property offers a full complement of five-star facilities including dining venues, a sunset pool and fitness centre. It is also home to one of Hong Kong’s largest event venues: a soaring 13,300 square feet column-free Grand Ballroom, complemented by function rooms and a lush outdoor garden, making it a premier destination for weddings and MICE events throughout the region.
SKYTOPIA: A Transformational Uplift at The Hotel’s Doorstep
In a development that materially enhances the investment proposition, the Airport Authority Hong Kong has announced SKYTOPIA, a landmark waterfront resort and lifestyle precinct to be developed immediately in front of the Property. The centrepiece is an exciting new marina, yacht bay and water sports centre that will animate the waterfront with a world-class leisure and resort experience directly accessible to hotel guests. Alongside this, the expansion of AsiaWorld-Expo Phase 2 will substantially increase the volume of business, MICE and entertainment demand flowing to the area. Together, these developments are expected to generate significant and sustained uplift in asset value and revenue potential for the Property over the medium-to-long term.

During the previous rounds of EOI, the Property attracted a number of serious, well-capitalised buyers, and we have been in substantive discussions with several of them. The Receivership appointment of AlixPartners brings clarity and decisiveness to the process. With an exceptional asset of this calibre, I am expecting the transition of ownership will be confirmed very soon.”
Mr. Godfrey Cheng, Deputy Senior Director, Investment CEO Office at Savills Hong Kong said, “This asset is more attractive today than at any previous point. Recovering visitor arrivals and SKYTOPIA’s world-class marina and water sports area directly in front of the hotel — each of these factors strengthens the investment case, and together they create a compelling story for long-term value creation.
