A Special Exhibition to Celebrate A Special Place
Remember the music, cocktails, laughter and stories from the Yum Sing Bar? How about the warm family gatherings at the Rainbow Room? Not only is the former Lee Gardens Hotel etched in the minds of tourists who visited Hong Kong throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, many generations of local Hong Kong people also carry fond memories of the hotel.
To celebrate the 20th birthday of its successor building, Lee Gardens LG One (“LG One”), Hysan Development, West Villa and Cova Hong Kong are teaming up to mark this special event with a retrospective exhibition.
Opened in 1972, Lee Gardens Hotel was one of the best known names in Hong Kong hospitality in the latter parts of the 20th century. Its international reputation helped make Causeway Bay one of the best loved commercial districts in the world.
“Lee Gardens Hotel was always a big part of the community,” says Irene Lee, Chairman of Hysan Development. “Our service, our food, our glamourous events and our community work: we hope this exhibition will bring out all those special elements about the Hotel which still run through the veins of Hysan and Lee Gardens as a group.”
The exhibition, starting July 13th, will be held on the ground floor of LG One. Among the displays at the exhibition will be the menus and pamphlets of the iconic Yum Sing Bar and the dim sum destination Rainbow Room. Many other items from the Hotel’s operations, including a complete table setting from the Pavilion restaurant, as well as exclusive photos and newspaper cuttings, will also be shown.
