With its dedication to promote heritage conservation, tourism and green living, Tai O Heritage Hotel has been awarded by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, with the Award of Merit at the 2013 Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation. On 7 and 8 November 2015, Hong Kong Heritage Conservation Foundation will organise two-day open house at Tai O Heritage Hotel, sharing with visitors the heritage conservation efforts about the 113-year-old colonial architecture of the Old Tai O Police Station, from which the nine-room Tai O Heritage Hotel has been converted. Members of the public are welcomed to register for the guided tours during the open house.
In the 15-minute guided hotel tour, our ambassadors will lead you on a sensory trip to the past. Begin with a short video telling the stories of the Old Tai O Police Station, followed by a visit to the former Inspectors' Quarters, Guard Tower and the new rooftop restaurant and Heritage Interpretation Centre. Each guest can learn about the original use of the rooms and explore the history of the marine guards and the tranquil fishing village.
