The Excelsior (怡東酒店) is a four-star hotel located at Gloucester Road. The location of the hotel is "Lot No.1", which was the first plot of land sold at auction after Hong Kong became a British Colony in 1841.
The hotel was developed on the original godown of Jardine Matheson and was officially opened on February 20, 1973. The hotel was the first in Hong Kong to have more than 1,000 rooms.
The Noon-day Gun is located opposite the hotel.
