The Mira Hong Kong is an upscale hotel located in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong which is the first Hong Kong property to join the Berlin-based global Design Hotels™ network. There are 492 rooms and suites, 6 restaurants and bars and a spa centre. It was renovated in 2009 and it became a smoke-free hotel in 2011.
The hotel is owned by Miramar Hotel and Investment. It was designed by architect Edmond Wong, interiors were designed by "lifestyle guru" Colin Cowie.[2][3][4]
History
From after 1911 until 1925, the site was occupied by the Club de Recreio (西洋波會). The Club then moved to its present location at King's Park along Gascoigne Road.[5]
The hotel was formerly named Hotel Miramar.[6] It had been purchased in 1957 from a Spanish mission by the founders of Miramar Hotel and Investment Company, Limited.[7] The grand opening of the rebranded and redesigned hotel took place on September 17, 2009.[8]
In 2013 after fleeing Hawaii, Edward Snowden stayed in The Mira as he announced that he had leaked classified documents of the National Security Agency (NSA). Whether Snowden was, in fact, residing there has been disputed, however.[9] The short film Verax features the hotel.[10] The film's budget included a one night stay at The Mira, the most expensive item on the budget.[11]
