Alles Lee, director of Sales & Marketing, JW Marriott Hotel Hong Kong, shares how the hotel has stood the test of time and continues to draw a loyal clientele over its 34-year history:

What unique qualities contribute to JW Marriott Hong Kong’s success?

Our hotel boasts dedicated, long-tenured, and loyal associates who are known for their strong guest-service culture. This commitment to service can greatly enhance the experience of meeting attendees.

The hotel is situated in a bustling business district with convenient access to shopping, office spaces, and the Admiralty railway station, which is a mega interchange hub connecting four lines. The proximity to transportation hubs and border-crossing points can be attractive for both local and international attendees.

The hotel features one of the largest, pillar-free hotel ballrooms on Hong Kong Island. This spacious and flexible event space is well received by meeting organisers and global corporations, indicating its suitability for hosting successful meetings and conferences.

The hotel is known for its elevated culinary and beverage craftsmanship. The presence of the MICHELIN-starred Man Ho Chinese Restaurant further adds to its appeal.

The hotel has built a solid reputation in Hong Kong over its 34-year history. This longevity and recognition contribute to its success as a meeting hotel.

What motivates your team at JW Marriott Hong Kong to consistently provide top-notch service?

Inspired by the company’s core values to Serve Our World and Put People First, we believe the cultural aspects of Nurture, Sustain, Empower, and Welcome make a positive impact and motivate the team to drive for service excellence.

The culture of nurturing emphasises the development and well-being of team members. We prioritise creating a supportive and growth-oriented environment where employees are given opportunities to enhance their skills and knowledge. This culture helps team members feel valued and motivated to deliver their best performance during meetings and events.

We emphasise responsible and sustainable practices in our operations, in order to minimise environmental impact, support local communities, and promote ethical business practices that align with the common values of the public and cater to the social concern of the meeting groups.

This involves delegating responsibilities, encouraging autonomy, and providing the necessary tools and resources to succeed, which allows the team to take ownership of their roles and proactively address any challenges that arise during meetings and events.

The culture of welcome signifies a focus on creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere for guests. We are dedicated to providing a personalised and hospitable experience for meeting and event attendees.
