Regal Hotels Hong Kong Combines Twin-Hotel M.I.C.E Infrastructure with Green Event Leadership to Capture International Business Growth

Published on December 3, 2025

Regal Hotels Hong Kong is set to advance its commercial strategy in 2026, emphasizing airport-centered meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE), environmentally responsible event services, and an expanded international loyalty footprint. The group is leveraging its airport properties as a unified “twin powerhouse” to attract business travellers, corporate clients, and large-scale event organisers, while capitalizing on the momentum of Hong Kong’s tourism resurgence.

Capitalizing on Hong Kong’s Tourism Momentum

Hong Kong’s tourism sector rebounded strongly in 2025, particularly in the latter half of the year, fueled by high-profile festivals, international concerts, and government-backed events. These initiatives not only increased visitor arrivals but also strengthened Hong Kong’s image as a global destination. Despite rising occupancy rates, metrics such as average room revenue and visitor spending are still recovering, presenting opportunities for hotels to capture higher-yield business.

Currently, the majority of demand stems from leisure travellers from mainland China and Southeast Asia. Western visitors and corporate groups have been slower to return due to limited air connectivity and rising airfare costs. This has created a landscape where hotels are busy but still have scope to enhance revenue per room and ancillary income.

Looking ahead, Asian source markets will continue to drive performance, while Western leisure and corporate segments are expected to gradually increase. Hong Kong’s competitive pricing and strategic positioning as a gateway to Macau, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Shanghai offer a compelling alternative to other high-cost regional hubs.

Regala Sky City Hotel: A Key Asset for Airport-Linked Events

Regala Sky City Hotel is a cornerstone of Regal Hotels’ airport strategy. Its direct, air-conditioned connection to AsiaWorld-Expo (AWE) offers a rare advantage for hosting large exhibitions, trade shows, and concerts with substantial capacity.

The property comprises more than 1,200 rooms, many twin-bedded, designed to maximize cost efficiency for group bookings. Its pillarless ballroom, featuring 4K LED walls, accommodates up to 1,200 delegates in classroom format or 70 round tables, catering to conferences, gala dinners, and corporate events.

The hotel also supports “bleisure” travel, offering easy access to Lantau Island attractions such as the Big Buddha, cable car, and hiking trails. This combination of business functionality and leisure appeal encourages guests to extend stays, boosting hotel revenue and enhancing overall guest experience.

Twin Powerhouse Model: Integrating Regala Sky City and Regal Airport Hotel

Regal Hotels’ airport strategy revolves around the complementary strengths of Regala Sky City and Regal Airport Hotel, which together offer nearly 2,400 rooms. The properties operate as a coordinated platform, providing a seamless experience for MICE organisers.

Regal Airport Hotel connects directly to the passenger terminal, while Regala Sky City links to AWE via an enclosed walkway. Managed under a single leadership team, the twin hotels offer integrated shuttle services, two large ballrooms, and over 30 breakout rooms. Organisers benefit from simplified contracting, consolidated invoicing, and the ability to host multi-room events with live connectivity between venues.

Additional amenities, including spas and fitness facilities, further enhance the delegate experience without fragmenting operations, creating a cohesive environment for both business and leisure guests.

Sustainable Event Leadership with Green Meetings

Sustainability is central to Regal Hotels’ 2026 vision. The “Green Meetings” programme, certified by the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA), provides full-scale sustainable event solutions, including carbon footprint analysis, low-emission culinary options, and verified carbon offsetting.

Event organisers receive guidance to reduce emissions in logistics, transportation, energy, and materials, while net-zero certification allows compliance with international ESG standards. This integrated approach positions Regal Hotels as a pioneer in environmentally responsible event management in Hong Kong.

Expanding Global Reach through GHA Discovery

Joining the GHA Discovery network connects Regal Hotels to nearly 28 million global loyalty members, increasing visibility in Europe, the Middle East, and other key international markets. This partnership allows Regal to attract international travellers to its airport properties while providing existing clients access to a network of partner hotels worldwide.

Outlook for 2026

With Asia continuing to drive tourism recovery, Regal Hotels is focusing on optimising its airport cluster, sustainability offerings, and global loyalty reach to capture returning Western and corporate segments. By leveraging location advantages, certified green practices, and international loyalty partnerships, Regal Hotels aims to position its airport properties as a premier business and events hub in Hong Kong, strengthening both revenue performance and the city’s global appeal.
