Hong Kong’s Hotel Assets Shift: Tender for Cozi Harbour View and Nina Hospitality’s Renovation
By Drooid · · How we work
Tender for Hotel Cozi Harbour View
A tender for the 598-room Hotel Cozi Harbour View in Kwun Tong was announced late last month. The property, acquired by Nanyang Commercial Bank for HK$1.87 billion (US$238.4 million) in 2025, is now being offered to the highest bidder, with interested parties required to submit proposals by the scheduled deadline of October 15.
Nina Hospitality’s HK$120 Million Renovation
Within a week of the Cozi tender announcement, Nina Hospitality, one of Hong Kong’s largest hotel operators, completed a HK$120 million (US$15.3 million) refurbishment of Nina Hotel Island South. The upgrade revamped the lobby and guest rooms and added new balcony suites and family rooms, positioning the hotel for a post-pandemic market rebound.
Background: Changing Use of Hotel Space in Hong Kong
Hong Kong’s hospitality sector, once driven by tourism, has faced reduced visitor numbers and rising operating costs. Developers and banks are increasingly repurposing hotel assets—some converting them into student dormitories or office space—to adapt to shifting demand. The Cozi Harbour View tender reflects this broader trend of asset reallocation in the city’s eastern Kowloon Peninsula, a former industrial zone now targeted for mixed-use development.
