Dear Our VIP Guests:
To celebrate this newly launched boutique hotel, I would like to take this opportunity to share the legendary history of this hotel with our honourable guests.
Back in 1902, when a permanent police station was built on the small hill next to Tai O Ferry Pier, to reinforce the police forces on Lantau Island. As one of the earliest police stations on the outlying islands of Hong Kong, it was established to combat pirates prevalent in the neighbouring waters. The station served as an administrative centre. Instead of fighting with crimes, the police were brought in to help with family disputes and arguments between villagers. Due to the declining crime rates, the police station ceased to operate and functioned as a patrol post from 1996 to 2002.
The police station was revitalized in 2009, and it was graded as a Grade II historic building by the Antiquities Advisory Board in 2010.
You are encouraged to exchange any gifts and TBs/GCs, with our fellow guests.
As our valuable customer, your safety comes first, it is not advisable to do anything stupid at the hotel. Hope your stay with us is enjoyable. Feel free to enjoy this beautiful location after your check in from 10am – 6pm every day.
Good luck and all the best!
Warmest Regards,
F.
Hotel Keeper
