W Hong Kong and the InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong have launched staycation packages to attract local Champagne and Whisky lovers. Due to coronavirus-related restrictions, tourism has fallen throughout the region and the hotel groups are hoping to entice denizens via their wine and spirits-oriented promotions.
W Hong Kong has teamed up with Veuve Clicquot Champagne to offer a complete Champagne experience that will be available until September 30, 2020. Guests will be welcomed to the hotel with two glasses of Veuve Clicquot Champagne, plus a set of canapés, and the room will be decorated with Veuve Clicquot flourishes. Next, a brand ambassador holds a private 60-minute Champagne tasting class, where guests in their room experience four different Champagnes including the Yellow Label, Rosé, Vintage 2008, and La Grande Dame 2008. A bottle of Rose to be enjoyed at the rooftop pool is also included as is a Veuve Clicquot gift set that will be received upon check-out.
InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong, meanwhile, offers a Whisky-themed option for their hotel guests. Available from now until August 31, 2020, the Malt & Stay staycation package allows fans of the golden spirit to revel in famed Tiffany’s New York Bar. Boasting one of Hong Kong’s largest Whisky collections with more than 300 labels on the menu, reservations include dinner, which comes with a bespoke Whisky flight. The bar designs each individual flight based on guests’ preferences and they are made up of Whiskies from across the globe.
With a booking of two rooms on the same date and floor, guests will receive a 60-minute Whisky masterclass conducted by a Whisky ambassador, who will guide them through the tasting of a whisky flight. For a Premiere Side Harbor View room, prices start at $2,186.80 HKD ($282.14 USD), while a Premiere Full Harbor View room will cost $2,296.80 HKD ($296.33 USD).
