Being part of Granville’s Story

attitude on granville is essentially a hotel with the theme of old Hong Kong, “retro”, “hip”, and “trendy”, reminding tourists and locals the fundamental elements of traditional Hong Kong, particularly Tsim Sha Tsui. “We are trying to create a group of boutique hotels that really have a character and attitude in each and every one of them,” said Alexander,

Literally at the meeting point of Tsim Sha Tsui, Granville Road in itself is filled with character: within a few steps away from the Knutsford Terrace, one of the most popular night life places in Kowloon, the most looked-out-for drug store – Lung Shing Drug Store, the old-school family-owned legacy of Tai Ping Koon restaurant, The One shopping mall, Tsui Wah restaurant, and many more! In fact, it is not just a street that only attracts the young and trendy, but it is also a place that allows the older generations to remember their youth and the old days! Therefore, we want to highlight these particular characters within our hotel, introduce them to tourists, and remind the locals.”

Nestled inside the hotel, Yum Cha is a contemporary Chinese restaurant serving traditional dim sum with a modern “wow the crowd” twist, their signature wild-eyed custard buns will surely bring you some good laughter, and their pineapple puffs presented as birds in the cages are almost too pretty to eat! Yum Cha is a restaurant that truly lets her imagination and creativity run wild, taking all the popular flavors to a whole new level and always leaving diners with big smiles and surprises!

Urban Park on the 4/F is a beautiful modern European restaurant with an open-air terrace overlooking the hustle Granville Road. The blissful beef burger is equally big on size and flavor, grilled to perfection. For the outdoor-lovers who have not got all the time in the world to plan their great picnics? Check out their appetizing butterfly blossom afternoon tea set. In addition, the bar serves delicious and original cocktails and fine wines, carefully matched to the unique dishes on the menu.

To celebrate its grand opening, attitude on granville is now offering free breakfast for a booking of minimum two consecutive nights. More info at www.soravithotels.com / facebook and instagram: attitudegranville
