Hotel Miramar
Across from Kowloon Park, the 525-room Hotel Miramar is near the Park Lane shopping
arcade and Miramar Shopping Centre. An older hotel, once known for its showy exterior and glitzy gold-coloured decor, this property toned down its public areas during a major renovation some years back. The last trace of the Miramar’s former flashiness can only be seen in its stained-glass windows in the lobby’s atrium ceiling.
The 770 sqm Miramar ballroom can be divided into several individual function rooms to accommodate small meetings for a group of 30 attendees through to the most lavish of banquets, meetings or conventions for as many as 1,000.
There are also ten fully equipped function rooms which are suitable for smaller meetings.
