New | Rooms at Disneyland’s third hotel to cost HK$2,000-3,000 per night
Prices at planned 750-room project will be set between park's existing two hotels, hears Legislative Council
Rooms at Hong Kong Disneyland’s planned third hotel will cost between HK$2,000 and HK$3,000 a night, its managing director told the Legislative Council today.
Lawmakers questioned whether the HK$4.26 billion project, scheduled for completion in 2017, would be profitable as it was seeking a HK$809 million loan from the Hong Kong government.
We have conducted market analysis on the new project’s investment and return. Its [return] will be within that of hotels in the present market
Hong Kong Disneyland managing director Andrew Kam Min-ho replied that investment returns would depend on room rates. Rooms at the new hotel would cost between HK$2,000 and HK$3,000 a night, making it less expensive than the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, but more expensive than the Hollywood Hotel.
“We have conducted market analysis on the new project’s investment and return. Its [return] will be within that of hotels in the present market,” he told the panel on economic development.
All political party representatives at the meeting supported the loan. It will be tabled at the finance committee for approval in May.
Medical sector lawmaker Leung Ka-lau asked whether the current hotels were profitable, but Kam said figures were available only for the overall profitability of the park. Last year, the park made a HK$242 million net profit.
