Regala Skycity Hotel celebrates the vitality of life by balancing world-class hospitality with harmonious experiences that allow guests to rejoice, relax and recharge.

Our group of five, together with Celebrity Influencer Ashley Ortega had the opportunity to experience the charm and hospitality of Regala Skycity Hotel on November 20-23, 2023. And it was a blast!
Thank you, Regal Hotels International, for the wonderful experience, and VFC Travel and Tours, for meticulously arranging our four-day itinerary.
Here are five reasons why Regala is the best new airport hotel to-go in Hong Kong.
The imposing Regala Skycity Hotel by day, just 10 minutes away from the airport |
1. It is conveniently located around the transportation hub to the Greater Bay Area and the rest of the world.
Regala is just a short ride away from Hong Kong International Airport (HKTA) via the Airport Express or the hotel’s free shuttle bus. Situated in the dynamic and exciting SKYCITY – a captivating new retail, dining and entertainment destination next to HKTA – Regala is conveniently positioned for those looking to explore Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen, or attend world-class events in the region. The hotel is directly connected to AsiaWorld-Expo - one of the world’s premier exhibition and entertainment venues and 11 SKIES - Hong Kong’s largest all-in retailtainment landmark with 2 minutes walk via the enclosed footbridge.
Guests will be able to reach Hong Kong’s Central District in less than half an hour aboard the Airport Express, the much-loved Hong Kong Disneyland in 15 minutes via taxi, and easily travel throughout the Greater Bay Area as The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and Tuen Mun Chek Lap Kok Link are only a few minutes away by car.

2. Regala offers wellness facilities
The hotel presents a myriad of experiences for all types of travellers. One of the most picturesque highlights can be found on the beautifully landscaped rooftop Sky Deck with panoramic views of Lantau and wellness facilities such as a Sky Gym, Jogging Track and Organic Farm are just waiting to be explored. The Sky Deck also features a cocktail bar, ideal for a drink while soaking in a spectacular sunset or watching planes taking off and landing. The rooftop space also lends itself perfectly to late-night stargazing – a must-do when staying at the hotel.
To further encourage healthy and harmonious living, guests are encouraged to take advantage of the outdoor swimming pool, self-guided driving and hiking tours, and tailor-made yoga and meditation activities.
3. It boasts of flexible and tech-savvy function spaces with impressive interior design
Regala Skycity Hotel is the perfect venue to celebrate every occasion, from weddings and meetings to large-scale events. Designed by the Hong Kong-based award-winning architect and interior designer Alexander Wong, the hotel offers two Banquet Halls and the Regala Grand Ballroom, which is one of the biggest ballrooms in Lantau.
Accommodating up to 76 tables, the Regala Grand Ballroom expresses dynamic energy through the myriad of rectangular white frames ‘spinning’ over like the Spiral Sky. The unique ceiling design creates a special lighting experience, complemented by a shoal of auspicious crystal chandeliers and giant pillars that also function as an LED display.
Designed to rekindle a sense of wonderment for the natural elements, streams of sunlight in the Banquet Halls create an enchanting vision of ocean waves or flying clouds during the day and an interstellar effect at night with a series of star-like chandeliers. With over 2,800 square metres of space and an impressive 6.7-meter ceiling height, the function spaces are equipped with state-of-the-art technology featuring synchronised AV systems, six built-in LED walls and six vertical LED panels.
These make Regala ideal for MICE, weddings, social gatherings, staycations, as well as individual business and leisure travels.
4. Regala has the largest number of guest rooms at Lantau Island
With 1,208 guest rooms, 90 of which are suites, Regala Skycity Hotel has the largest number of guest rooms on Hong Kong’s Lantau Island. All rooms are designed with a modern simplicity that exudes a vibrant and contemporary aesthetic while prioritizing endorphin-boosting natural sunlight. Guests will be delighted with an exceptional view overlooking the bustling SKYCITY, tranquil gardens or the picturesque South China Sea.
Families can treat little ones to a memorable experience in one of the themed rooms located on the third floor, with themes like Racing Car, Frozen Castle, Pirates, Under the Sea, Brick & Block, and Jungle & Safari.
