Hong Kong Hotel
The Hongkong Hotel was Hong Kong's first luxury hotel modelled after sumptuous London hotels. It opened on Queen's Road and Pedder Street in 1868,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, History )〕 later expanding into the Victoria Harbour waterfront of Victoria City in 1893.
==History==
The original hotel stood roughly on the site of the present Central building at Queen's Road Central and Pedder Street. It was owned by The Hongkong Hotel Company, which later became The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited, current owner of The Peninsula Hotels chain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Corporate profile )〕
In the late 1880s the six-storey north wing extension was built on the waterfront, with entrances on Pedder Street, Queen's Road and Praya Central (now Des Voeux Road Central). Competing in all respects with the Peak Hotel, owned by The Star Ferry Company, the management provided a special launch to meet arriving passengers on incoming P&O mail steamers and ferry them direct to the hotel's pier.
A shop of Kuhn & Komor was located on the ground floor of the hotel, along Queen's Road.〔

After the north wing burned down in 1929, the original part of the hotel, especially the large Gripps Restaurant, continued to be popular with the public, but the hotel eventually closed in 1952.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hongkong Hotel - Queen's Road at Pedder Street )〕
