We need to constantly be up to speed with a view to exceeding the customer\u2019s expectations.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">No stranger to Asia, Peter Pottinga is at the helm of the Harbour Grand Kowloon hotel at an opportune time. Bringing with him a rich tapestry of hospitality experience across major brands across China, Pottinga has fresh challenges. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Harbour Grand Kowloon is more than an establishment. It is a veritable family icon for two reasons. Most staff have been loyal, some even for decades; and its location, novel amenities (like its rooftop swimming pool), food &amp; beverage outlets serving authentic fare and its competitive rates have made it one of Hong Kong\u2019s most frequently visited family hotel. The hotel also offers serviced apartments the guests of which are mostly long term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><em>\u201cWe have to be able to make a personal connection with our guests because at the end of the day, we are not selling a room or a bed. We are offering an experience.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Future is Now! <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Helping to set up the refurbished hotel to meet the challenges of successive generations of guests, will not be easy. The hotel sits on an enviable location, offers amazing views and private ocean-side walkways, a stone\u2019s throw away from the new Whampoa MTR station and in the midst of a rapidly growing and changing Hung Hom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWe are catering to an upmarket, internet-savvy, market that\u2019s spoilt for choice. Competition is increasing while guests are growing increasingly discerning. The younger generation is constantly seeking change and it is up to the best of\u00a0the industry to provide that fresh, \u2018wow\u2019 factor,\u201d says Pottinga. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">He adds: \u201cNew markets like India, Indonesia and Thailand are showing fresh promise but everyone knows that the biggest market for us all is China.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Built to Serve <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The market for Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (M.I.C.E.) is a lucrative one. Competition between hotels in the same class ultimately boils down to quality of service from experienced and well-trained staff. The Harbour Grand Kowloon hosts the biggest business awards in Hong Kong to perfection each year. Hundreds of Hong Kong\u2019s top business people enjoy the hotel\u2019s top quality service carrying home with them fond memories of the quality of service they enjoy here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWe have an experienced team of MICE professionals who put together the most demanding of events, seamlessly. We offer a one-stop-shop that takes away the bother of organisers. We bring to the table a wealth of ideas and suppliers that help make your event a success from start to end. We believe meeting must be inspiring, energizing, refreshing, productive and that our product is a story of urban oasis.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Boom Time <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bright days are ahead for the hotel what will soon get around 360 new rooms by the end of 2018 alongside a phased renovation of the existing structure. Whampao with its new MTR station is now less than 20 minutes away from the CBD and the whole area is poised for a new look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAs a competitive service provider we can\u2019t rest on our laurels. We need to constantly be up to speed with a view to exceeding the customer\u2019s expectations. Put simply, we are in the hospitality industry and will ultimately be judged on the way we make our guests feel,\u201d says Pottinga.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWe have to be able to make a personal connection with our guests because at the end of the day, we are not selling a room or a bed. We are offering an experience. For the time the guest stays with us, we see ourselves as playing a role in their lives. We have to serve in a way that makes them want to stay longer or return. We have to constantly raise the bar in order to maintain our lead as a \u2018go-to\u2019 hotel for lifestyle, leisure and business,\u201d he concludes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For additional information, please visit <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.harbourgrand.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.harbourgrand.com<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Your Business is Our Business<\/span><\/h1>\n<h2>Few hotels in Hong Kong are able to serve the M.I.C.E market as well as the HARBOUR GRAND KOWLOON, says seasoned hotelier and General Manager PETER POTTINGA.<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3811\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"823\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon3.jpg 823w, https:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon3-600x405.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon3-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon3-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon3-445x300.jpg 445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">M.I.C.E travel has changed from the days of salon and ballroom bookings. Today, customers want more. They want rooms and amenities too and are willing to pay competitive rates for the best on offer. The challenge for hotels is to match or exceed the customer\u2019s expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Spirit of Enterprise <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cCompetitive hotels know that the path to progress is not paved with complacence. As a service provider we have to be innovative, creative, caring and resourceful to ensure that we can\u2019t be matched where it comes to expertise, professionalism and a great \u2018will-do\u2019 attitude,\u201d says Peter Pottinga, General Manager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">From a product and services standpoint, the Harbour Grand Kowloon remains a highly competitive player and a force to reckon with. It boasts an expansive guest room inventory, all units generously sized, as well as a wide range of award winning restaurants. Its harbor-front location makes it easily accessible from anywhere in Hong Kong, perfect to manage larger movements of delegations, and if that isn\u2019t enough, it houses its own private pier, allowing guests the unique experience of arriving directly by boat. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Making a Difference <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Besides its marvelous facilities, the true strength of the Harbour Grand Kowloon lies in its staffing. \u201cOur edge stems from experience and investing in people who have a passion for and pride in the product they deliver. Once you are able to establish an emotional connection between the staff members and the hotel, the quality of service elevates itself from \u2018doing a job\u2019 to that of \u2018this is also a reflection of me\u2019, which drives that quest for perfection and innovation in delivering a more personalized experience for the guests,\u201d says Pottinga.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><em>\u201cThe value-added takeaway is that we move from being just a vendor of a site to that of a business partner that works together with the event organizer, from the planning stage through execution to post event follow up.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3812\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"823\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon4.jpg 823w, https:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon4-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediazone.com.hk\/hkmvc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/hkmvc17_HarbourGrandKowloon4-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What Guests Want <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Harbour Grand Kowloon has, through the years developed a keen understanding of its guests.
