The design of 1881
Heritage gives more breathing space to tourists and locals
alike when visiting Tsim
Sha Tsui. There's a big courtyard and the wide open entrance
from Salisbury Road is inviting. Together with some of the old
trees in the site preserved, the place is a pleasant break from
narrow aisles and skyscrapers
of Hong Kong.

The main
building at 1881 Heritage was once the main building of
the Hong Kong Marine Police Headquarters. And the Japanese used
it as their Navy Base during World War II. Now you can book
a room in the hotel and dream sweet dreams.
