Joyce Wang designs suite for 'extravagant entertaining' at Hong Kong's Mandarin oriental

The Entertainment Suite elevates the guest experience by making many forms of entertainment possible in a spectacular private retreat
– Torsten van Dullemen, general manager at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s Landmark Mandarin Oriental hotel has opened its newest and largest suite, designed as the “ultimate retreat for socialising” by Joyce Wang and her studio.

The 2,250sq ft (209,000sq m) Entertainment Suite has been conceived as “a welcome respite from Hong Kong’s hectic streets”, with a subtle, nature-inspired colour palette and soft custom-designed furnishings created by Wang – including hand-chiselled cabinet doors adorned with hand-painted art and a chandelier composed of individual glass-moulded LED squares resembling frozen cubes.

The suite, commissioned as a space “for extravagant entertaining”, includes a master bedroom; a kitchen and dining area for private banquets; a master bathroom built around a freestanding one piece marble Palissadro bathtub; and a high-tech audiovisual lounge.

The latter features a 160-inch TV screen with a laser projector, an advanced sound system and a custom-designed coffee table containing interlocking compartments, crafted from gouged timber, for storing virtual reality headsets and gaming equipment.

Guests enter the suite via a main living area featuring an Entertainment Wall that extends the length of the room. This contains a ‘Cabinet of Delights’ comprising several individual cupboards crafted in liquid metal and intricately engraved with tree branch silhouettes. These contain “thoughtful amenities, individual surprises and personalised services” such as a mixologist dispensary, a crystal vitrine stocked with delicacies, and a movie-style popcorn machine.

“The Entertainment Suite elevates the guest experience by making many forms of entertainment possible in a spectacular private retreat," said Torsten van Dullemen, the hotel’s general manager. "It's ideal for Oscars-worthy parties, extravagant dinner receptions or the most romantic getaways. It's also perfect for those seeking a statement space as a showroom, catwalk, social or music venue, or ultra-chic screening or movie set.”

The opening of the suite marks the culmination of an 18-month renovation programme that has seen the hotel’s entire room inventory transformed, with Wang redesigning 120 suites at the hotel with “an understated but sophisticated luxury.”

The designer was recently commissioned to lead a multi-million-pound restoration of 181 rooms, suites and public areas at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London – the hotel’s European flagship.
