Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Precautionary Measures
To ensure our guest safety through our “True Hospitality” service philosophy, we have added measures at our hotel to ensure the health and safety of all individuals.
The health and wellbeing of our guests and team members are and will remain the top priority of InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong. Therefore in light of developments, all non-Hong Kong residents will be restricted from entering Hong Kong, along with anyone arriving from mainland China, Macau and Taiwan and in view of the Hong Kong Government quarantine guidelines of a mandatory 14-day quarantine period at an alternate location before checking in at the hotel, as InterContinental Grand Stanford is not designed to operate as a quarantine facility. For the latest travel advice please visit the Hong Kong Government’s official website.
As the world adjusts to new travel norms and expectations, we’re enhancing the experience for our hotel guests – by redefining cleanliness and supporting wellbeing throughout your stay. We are expanding our commitment to cleanliness by:

These strengthened procedures are designed to give you greater confidence and hotel teams the protection needed.
