e welcome you to Hong Kong and to CityLife , the monthly magazine for visitors to Asia’s world city. As the New Year kicks off, the fragrant harbour continues to shine as one of the world’s most popular travel destinations, with a diverse array of international and local events set to deliver loads of fun and excitement alongside the dazzling skyline and a wealth of unique attractions in the city. The Hong Kong Velodrome, the state-of-theart arena in Tseung Kwan O in the New Territories, is hosting the 2015/16 UCI Track Cycling World Cup from 16 to 17 January, the biggest trackcycling tournament in the city’s history. With 250 cyclists from 39 countries and regions competing for not only prestigious trophies but also qualification points for the 2016 Olympic Games, this competition is sure to be one of most enthralling sports events of the year. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong music scene goes from strength to strength, offering a cornucopia of stellar concerts from big names and up-andcoming talent. Five-time Grammy Award-winning jazz artist Diana Krall will take over the AsiaWorldExpo on 24 January, melting fans' hearts with her evocative and seemingly effortless singing, while the Hong Kong International Chamber Music Festival, launched in 2009, appears in its seventh edition from 20 to 27 January at various venues across the territory, showcasing a host of international and local musicians alongside the world-famous violinist Cho-Liang Lin. This month also sees the festive spirit live on, as the Tung Wah Charity Carnival – conceived by the eponymous charity organization – transforms the former Kai Tak Airport runway into an enormous playground for all ages, boasting the latest amusement rides, games of skill, and several entertainment zones. As part of the proceeds will go to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals in support of its services for children, adolescents and lowincome families, you can have a blast for a good cause. On behalf of us all, we wish you a happy new year and a memorable visit to Hong Kong.

The Oldest House on the Peak? 太平山頂上最古老的房屋?

Which house can claim to be the oldest on the Peak? 到底哪一幢房屋稱得上是山頂上最古老的房屋?

T

he Peak is Hong Kong’s top residential district. Like most of the older areas it has been extensively rebuilt as people’s needs have evolved. The original houses built in the late 1860s and 1870s were summer retreats that offered a little respite from heat in town. The slightly lower temperatures made all the difference in an age before electric fans and air conditioning. At first few took advantage of it as access was difficult. The road up, today’s Old Peak Road, was steep and although an old Directory called it a bridle path, few if any used a horse. You either walked up, an exhausting trek in the summer, or you were carried up in a sedan chair. You can try the climb today and find for yourself how hard it is. The first house was a sanatorium for sick soldiers but soon closed as the poor sanitation didn’t make them any better. The house was then rented for several years by noted architect and local philanthropist Granville Sharp until the Government took it back as a summer house for the Governor. This first house was built of wood and it didn’t last long. By then the Governor was hooked on the Peak and a new structure was soon in place. Access improved in 1888 when the Peak Tram opened for business. New roads were

built out from the terminal to access more building sites and there was a mini building boom. The normal style of property was called an upstairs bungalow. The family’s living quarters were arranged on a single floor raised above ground level. Below it were the servant’s quarters and store rooms. Usually there were verandas so that direct sunlight was kept away from the windows. The veranda also provided a space for Hong Kong's elite to lie out and enjoy the breeze and a gin and tonic. Of course the weather was not always fine. The Peak suffers from frequent low cloud that raises the humidity to 100 percent. It’s like being in thick fog. Nowadays there are dehumidifiers to keep the inside dry but in the past water would run down the walls and mould would grow on just about everything. The Rev. E.J. Hardy in 1905 put it succinctly saying “If you live on the Peak your clothes rot; if you live below, you rot.” The houses were sturdily built to weather the typhoon winds and most of the houses built around the turn of the century were still going strong in the years before World War II. The Japanese occupation had a big effect on the Peak. As soon as they had marched the residents off to internment in Stanley, Chinese

太平山頂是香港最高尚的住宅區,與大多數的 舊區一樣,隨著人們的需求改變,山頂已被 廣泛重建。在1860年代後期和1870年代興建的 房屋原是香港的避暑勝地,雖然那裡的氣溫只比 市區低幾度,但由於當時還沒有電風扇和空調, 這些房屋起著重要的作用。最初因為交通不便, 很少人來這裡來避暑。當時上山的道路就是如今 的舊山頂道,雖然有一本舊指南稱之為跑馬徑, 但實際上道路十分陡峭。你可以選擇走上山,但 夏天走上去是十分艱苦的,你還可以用人力轎車 作為交通工具,如今你還可以選擇爬上去,親身 體驗其中的困難。 山頂上的第一幢房屋原是傷病士兵的療養 院,但因為此療養院無法為士兵的康復提供實質 幫助,不久後就被廢棄了。然而,這幢房子後來 被Granville Sharp租下來了,幾年之後政府把它 買下來,作為港督的避暑之地。這幢房屋是用木 頭建成的,不久後就倒塌了。那時港督十分喜歡 山頂,很快就進行了一些改建工程。 1888年,由於商業需要,山頂纜車開通,交 通變得更便利。擴建的新道路可通往更多建築工 地,當時還掀起了一陣興建熱潮。這些房屋一般 是兩三層高的平房,地面以上的一層是主人的生 活區,下面則是傭人的生活區和貯存室,這些房 屋通常都有陽台,利用窗戶阻擋太陽光直射,還 可以讓你躺在外面,伴著微風喝一杯琴通寧雞尾 酒,十分愜意。 當然了,天氣並不總是那麼好的。雲層低的 時候,山頂的濕度達到百分之一百,感覺就像置 身於濃霧當中。如今我們有抽濕機,令房間保持 乾爽,但過去水滴會沿著牆壁流下,所有東西都 會發霉。愛德華·哈代(德高望重的愛爾蘭教會牧 師,同時是作家)在1905更為言簡意賅地指出: “如果你住在山頂,你的衣服會爛掉;但如果你 住在山下,你就會爛掉。 ”

HISTORY MATTERS

香江史料

looters moved in and stripped the houses bare. Everything was taken including plumbing and wiring as well as any wood. The Japanese appear not to have cared and they did not aspire to living on the Peak. It must have been pretty bleak. After the War some houses were restored, but many were redeveloped. Some, like La Hacienda and Eridine, were replaced by blocks of flats. Others were just rebuilt with more modern materials and with better facilities. This was partly dictated by the growing practice of providing expatriate staff with company flats. Of course most wanted to live on the Peak and there was much competition for the available sites. Government itself had been an early entrant and had a large number of quarters spread around the area. Towards the end of the 20th century not only was the British military moving out but also the number of expatriate civil servants was in decline. They vacated a number of properties which were then redeveloped to suit wealthy buyers. Everyone aspires to living on the Peak and prices have risen dramatically. Today you look around and just about every building appears to be modern. There have been calls for more of the old to be preserved but it is difficult to stop redevelopment. When The Falls, built in the early 1920s and widely

這些房屋建造得很堅固以對抗颱風,大部分 在世紀之交建成的房屋在戰爭之前都很牢固,日 本的佔領對山頂造成很大影響,他們把居民都送 往赤柱拘留營後,中國的掠奪者馬上進去將屋子 洗劫一空,所有東西包括管道、線路和木材都被 拿走了。日本人對此似乎並不在意,他們不想住 在山頂,一定是因為那裡太陰冷了。 戰爭結束後,一些房屋被修復了,但多數是 被重建的。還有一些像La Hacienda和Eredine, 被一系列公寓取代,其他的只是用更現代的材料 和更好的設施重建了,其中部分原因是公司為駐 外員工提供宿舍的現象越來越普遍。當然了,很 多人都想住在山頂,因此競爭是很激烈的。政府 在山頂擁有大量物業,是最早的加入者之一。20 世紀末,英軍和駐外公務員都逐漸搬離山頂,清 空的物業後來被重建後賣給富人。所有人都渴望 住在山頂,因此物業價格大幅上升。 如今你環視山頂一圈,幾乎所有建築物的外 觀都很現代,曾經有人呼籲應保留更多舊建築, 但並未能阻止重建的步伐。1920年代早期建造的 何東花園(舊稱The Falls)就是公眾抗議拆卸失 敗的例子。有一幢位於灣仔峽甘道最低處的房屋 被保留下來了,政府與業主達成協議購入了這幢 房屋,這幢房屋是舊式的兩三層高的平房,但陽 台被封閉了。 這塊地是政府在1886年出售的,這幢房 屋可能是在這之後不久興建的,原本的業主 John Joseph Francis以他在英國蘭開夏的學校 Stonyhurst College命名,他是香港法律界的重 要人物,在民事訴訟方面尤為突出。 這幢房屋至今仍沒有任何翻新和修復的跡 象,實際上我們也對它的用途沒有任何頭緒。有 些人希望將它改建為博物館,讓公眾知道過去的 山頂是怎樣的。 這是山頂最古老的房屋嗎?山頂當然還有其 他古老的房屋,但它一定是這項榮譽最有力的競 爭者。希望這幢房屋可以作為對過去山頂顯赫生 活的一種紀念。■

known as Ho Tung Gardens, was slated for demolition, there was a huge public outcry but this didn't save it. One house that has been kept is at the lower end of Coombe Road at Wanchai Gap. Here the Government was able to reach an agreement with the owner and took possession of it. The house is the old-style upstairs bungalow albeit that the verandas have been enclosed. The site was originally sold by the Government in 1886 and the house was probably built soon after. The original owner John Joseph Francis named it after his school; Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, England. He was a leading light of Hong Kong’s legal profession and was prominent in civic affairs. There has as yet been no sign of any renovation or restoration of the house. In fact there has been no indication of what it might be used for. One would hope that it can be fitted out as a Peak home would have been prewar and opened up as a museum to remind everyone of what life on The Peak used to be like. Is it the oldest house on the Peak? Certainly there are few other old houses left and it must be a prime contender for that accolade. Let us hope that it can become a celebration of the past splendour of Peak living. ■

To celebrate New Year, we probe deep into the fascinating diversity of Hong Kong, dissect its complex geography and culture and find out why it is one of the most exciting cities in the world 新一年到來,《東方之珠》帶你深入研究香港的多元性,分析這裡複雜的地理和文化, 發掘出它成為世界上最令人興奮的城市之一的原因。

H

ong Kong, once a tiny and sleepy fishing village, is now an indispensable financial hub in the global economy. Its pivotal status in the world, along with its colourful colonial history, has been attracting streams of foreigners from across the globe to settle in this coastal city punctuated by high mountains and flat lands, leading to the neverending cross-pollination of Western and Eastern cultures. And despite its fast pace and competitive atmosphere, the city manages to preserve its local traditions and cultural heritage, which beautifully contrast with the modern skyscrapers captured on the postcards. It is these deep, intriguing mixtures of East and West, and new and old that create the hugely exciting diversity of Hong Kong, making it one of the most wonderful travel destinations in the world.

Hong Kong is often praised for its worldclass, ultra-efficient transportation system. But besides functionality, the various travel modes also make for unique ways to experience the city – from the expansive, ever-growing MTR network to the historic trams and ferries to the double-decker buses, one of the locals’ favourites, you can feel the pulse of the city at whatever rhythm you fancy. Of course, exploring on foot is always one of the best ways, too. 香港世界級、高效的交通系統備受讚美,除 了實際的通勤功能以外,香港的交通系統還 為我們提供了一種獨特的城市體驗方式—從 巨大、不斷發展中的港鐵網絡,到歷史悠久 的電車和渡輪,還有本地人最愛之一的雙層 巴士,你完全可以按照自己的節奏感受這個 城市的脈搏。當然,漫無目的地四處閒逛也 是其中一個好方法。

Culture S

outhern District, widely known as Island South, is blessed with a rare combination of scenic nature and cultural history. Covering the southern part of Hong Kong Island and overlooking the South China Sea, it encompasses picturesque reservoirs, green mountains, and sandy beaches, along with fastdeveloping commercial and residential communities in Wong Chuk Hang and Ap Lei Chau. Aberdeen, which literally means “Little Hong Kong” in Cantonese and where the British first set foot in the territory, still thrives as a fishing village, home to the few remaining indigenous Tanka fishermen as well as the grandiose floating restaurants much loved by visitors. While only half an hour from the heart of town, it won’t be long before you feel viscerally removed from the city’s bustling side. To make the most of your visit, arrive early, and immerse yourself in the stunning scenery along with the vibrant, multifaceted culture that has grown from the earliest days of the city. Start at the western end of Aberdeen and work your way eastward towards Shek O, and you will be rewarded with a varied experience well worth the time.

ituated at the Pulse, the burgeoning dining hub in Repulse Bay featuring some of the most breathtaking views the city has to offer, the Ocean has utilised its privileged location to the hilt, delivering a blissfully tranquil ambience as the ocean-themed interior design riffs off the lovely beach backdrop. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning panoramic views of the sea, while the curving, coral-reef-inspired booths and tables conjure up a sense of movement for the interior. Most eyecatching, though, are the opulent built-in aquarium walls where hundreds of jellyfish perform serenely for guests. As expected, the menu features a good range of seafood dishes from fish to octopus to shellfish, with three-course (HK$488), five-course (HK$888), eight-course (HK$1188) and 10-course (HK$1488) sets on offer. The portions are generous, and alongside the extravagant sterling silver Hermès cutlery, the dishes are served with organic, marinestyled adornments such as rocks, shells and seaweed on the side. We kicked things off with the Seaview Spritz (HK$108), a light, refreshing cocktail, and the Sea Breeze, a Japanese-styled appetiser interwoven with the flavours and textures of homemade tofu, uni, walnut and ponzu. The intricate layers contrast against each other wonderfully, making it an early

winner for our meal. Next came the Tiger Prawns – sourced from Japan, the shellfish is fresh, going well with the creaminess and mild acidity of the burrata, as well as the fruity notes from the tomatoes and berries. The Scallop, on the other hand, has bolder flavours. Alongside the miso, orange and fennel, the corn puree is a touch overpowering, but we enjoyed the sea catch itself, which is seared beautifully on the outside while tender, moist on the inside. As for the main course, the Sous-vide Turbot is also cooked beautifully, with a delicate, moist texture rendered from the meticulous slow-cook process. The nori butter sauce is quite light, however the roasted cauliflower makes up for it with a pleasant hint of smokiness. Finally, for dessert we opted for the Chocolate Pearl, which features a yummy dollop of yogurt icecream nestling inside an exquisitely crafted hollow chocolate ball accompanied by pickled cherries, wrapping up our meal in a sweet and refreshing manner. With the impressive atmosphere and spankingfresh sea catches on offer, the Ocean is a solid addition to the increasingly competitive dining community in Repulse Bay. Looking for a place to spend a romantic evening with your loved one after a gentle stroll on the beach? This restaurant is sure to put a smile on their face. ■

N

estling on the third floor of popular mall The Mira in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Cuisine Cuisine is the younger, more creative version of its sister restaurant of the same name at International Finance Centre (ifc) in Central, touting an original menu inspired by Chinese culinary traditions with a contemporary twist. Its all-new Deluxe Dim Sum Platter (HK$198) was recently rolled out, and we were lucky enough to be among the first to sample it, along with some other delicacies on offer. As its name suggests, the platter is a luxurious set of dim sum crafted with lavish ingredients such as garoupa, lobster and abalone. Of the five extravagant pieces, our top vote went to the Steamed Scallop Dumpling with Black Truffle – the scallop is fresh and tender, while the lush black truffle brings the flavours to the fore alongside the nice crunch of the vegetables. We also liked the Stir-fried Spicy Chicken Bun, whose spot-on, Sichuan-style seasoning pleasantly numbs the palate. Moving on, we tried another interesting dish, the Crispy Glutinous Rice Dumplings (HK$46). The rich fermented beancurd sauce, typically served with pig’s trotters, fits in perfectly here with the diced chicken and the crusty, crunchy pastry. But what surprised us the most was the Tripes in Tom Yum Paste (HK$58), which borrows the authentic soup base from Thailand. While the idea seems a bit wild, we were glad we tried what turned out to be a fragrant and delicious dish. Next our palate was refreshed by the Poached Pea Shoots (HK$220), whose pure and creamy rice broth was perfectly complemented by the sweet wolfberries and fresh pea shoots, making for a pleasant transition before the desserts arrived. Satisfying our sweet tooth was the Steamed Red Date Pudding (HK$58), marked by its sweet and aromatic notes, along with the Cantonese-style Steamed Black Sugar Sponge Cake (HK$58), which boasts a light and fluffy texture. This enjoyable lunch was packed with pleasant surprises and impressed with its solid cooking technique and twists that intrigued but didn’t go over the top. This creative approach, rare among Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong, has placed Cuisine Cuisine firmly on the city’s culinary map, and we will certainly be back. ■

(The Mira)更年輕,主打創意美食。餐廳在傳統中菜的基 礎上增添新意,推出多款原創菜式。我們非常榮幸能首先 品嚐到餐廳最近推出的五色寶盒(港幣198元),以及其 他一系列美食。 顧名思義,五色寶盒是一道奢華精緻的點心拼盤,以 各款高級食材製作而成,包括有石斑、龍蝦和鮑魚。在五 件名貴點心之中,我們最喜歡的是玉帶松露餃,帶子十分 鮮嫩,珍貴的黑松露將鮮味以及蔬菜爽脆的口感提升至更 高層次。另一道我們喜歡的菜式是川味辣雞籃,精準的川 式調味帶我們踏上一趟舌尖上的麻辣之旅。 接著我們品嚐了另一道有趣的菜式,南乳雞粒咸水角 (港幣46元)味道濃郁的南乳通常用來搭配豬蹄,但原 來搭配雞粒和鬆脆的咸水角,同樣相得益彰。但最令我們 感到驚訝的菜式是泰皇冬陰牛栢葉(港幣58元),選用 正宗泰式湯底,這種做法聽起來很冒險,但味道卻十分香 濃。 下一道菜是米湯杞子浸豆苗(港幣220元),純白色 的濃稠米湯加上香甜的杞子和新鮮豆苗,為我們帶來清新 的味道和口感,準備好迎接甜品的到來。 最後,餐廳為我們送上清甜芳香的新疆棗皇糕(港幣 58元)和口感鬆軟的黑糖蒸馬拉糕(港幣58元)為這美 妙的一餐畫上完美句號。 這是一頓充滿驚喜的午餐,各款菜式融合了廚師純熟 的烹飪技巧和創新元素,卻拿捏得恰到好處,給我們留下 深刻印象。這種創新的做法在香港的中餐廳中較為罕見, 令國金軒成為城中必食之選,我們絕對會再次回來品嚐更 多美味佳餚。■

Adenosine: a KFDA (Korea Food and Drug Administration) accredited anti-wrinkle ingredient.

* 測試機關:I.E.C. Korea(國際臨床研究專業企業法國I.E.C.Korea集團的隸屬機構) Testing institute: I.E.C. Korea (Subsidiary company of French-based global clinical research institution) ** 以上測試以22名30歲-59歲的成年女性為對象,是對使用BoLC A+產品四周後的功效測評結果(2015年3月6日-4月3日) The result is based on clinical trial of 22 women aged 30-59 in four weeks (6 March – 3 April 2015)


本來我的皮膚就很敏感乾燥,很少有 合適的化妝品,眼睛周邊更是敏感, 只能用一些特定的防曬霜。但是, BoLC A+完全沒有帶來任何刺激或不 適,吸收得也很快。這下放心了,我 會長期使用這個產品。

My skin is dry and allergic and few cosmetic products suit me – especially for the periphery of my eyes, where I can only apply some special sunscreen. But I haven't experienced any allergy with BoLC A+; instead, my skin absorbs it quickly. Now I’m rest assured that I can use this product in the long run.

對於我這種二十五六歲剛剛開始長皺 紋的人,或者四五十歲的女士們來 說,這款精華實在是太合適了。它最 大的功效就是立刻改善眼部和嘴部周 邊的皺紋!

For middle-aged women who started having wrinkles at 25 like myself, this serum is perfect. It works best for reducing wrinkles around the eyes and the mouth.

開始使用BoLC A+還不到兩星期,我 的法令紋已經幾乎全部消失了。簡直 是奇蹟!我自己都不敢相信臉上的變 化居然這麼大,簡直不可思議!現在 我在向身邊所有朋友推薦這款產品。 謝謝你,BoLC A+!

祛皺的效果因人而異。至少我可以見 證自己皺紋逐漸變細消失的過程, 如果長期使用,我認為會有更好的效 果。BoLC A+精華能有效祛除嘴部四 周的皺紋,我感到很滿意!

It's miraculous that my smile lines have almost completely disappeared after using BoLC A+ for less than two weeks! How it changed my skin is simply incredible. I'm now recommending this product to all my friends, thank you BoLC A+!

The effectiveness of reducing wrinkles varies from person to person. For me, I’ve seen my wrinkles gradually disappear, and I think the result will be even better after prolonged use. I’m really happy that BoLC A+ has removed the wrinkles around my mouth!

用了BoLC A+面霜之後,我的皮膚質 感更為水潤細膩有光澤。我相信上了 年紀的女士們使用之後,祛皺效果會 更為明顯。

With BoLC A+ Facial Cream, now my skin is brighter and has more moisture. I think its wrinkle-minimizing function works even better with mature women.

I particularly love the challenges from the guests’ unusual requests, which allow me to acquire new knowledge and give me a lot of satisfaction when I get them sorted. CL: Can you share your most memorable request from a guest? Allan: A few years ago an American guest, who was a big fan of the Hong Kong comedian Stephen Chow, asked if we could get him a VHS copy of the movie “All’s Well, Ends Well” from 1992. It was hugely challenging given the obsolete status of the format, but after visiting over 20 shops all over the city in my spare time I eventually found it. He was ecstatic when I

A ‘hidden gem” to see or do for firsttime visitors: The Chinese Opera performance and night market on Temple Street are definitely worth checking out – it’s hard to find such an enticing vibe anywhere else in the world. Things to do in Hong Kong in two days: Day 1: Take a half-day tour in Sheung Wan district to savour local food classics such as wonton noodles, barbequed pork and egg tart, and explore the historic side of the city on Hollywood Road. Then get on the Harbour Cruise – Bauhinia to enjoy a lovely dinner along with dazzling night views of Victoria Harbour.

Allan: Nowadays the guests are more knowledgeable about travelling so they don’t just expect comfortable rooms and standard services. We always strive to be as attentive to their needs as possible and deliver extra service whenever it’s needed. CL: Where do you like to go or what do you do in Hong Kong when you are off from work? Allan: My favourite place in Hong Kong is Cheung Chau. I love travelling there by sampan and exploring Cheung Po Tsai Cave, the oncesecret spot where the eponymous mythical pirate kept his treasure. ■

GENERAL MANAGER Pierre Perusset, General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, tells us about his job at the highest hotel in the world

Pierre Perusset

香港麗思卡爾頓酒店總經理Pierre Perusset與我們暢談他在 全球最高酒店工作的經歷

香港麗思卡爾頓酒店總經理

I decided to develop a career in the field of hospitality at an early age. I started an apprenticeship as a waiter in my home country Switzerland at 16, and gradually worked my way up, completing a degree with an honor from the Lausanne Hotel School along the way. I also made concerted efforts at learning languages, and now speak English, German and French, and can communicate in several others. I first arrived in Hong Kong in 1990 and can honestly say that it’s one of the best places to work and live in the world. Its fast, dynamic and competitive atmosphere drives us to be at our best every single day, and It’s also a beautiful, modern and well-connected city. I just love Hong Kong and its people. I have worked in some countries fraught with war, riots and bomb attacks as well as in world-class cities in Europe and North America. From these experiences, I have learned that in any difficult situation, it’s always best to stay calm and positive. It’s crucial to show your guests and staff that panic is not going to help the situation, and keeping your composure will allow clearer thinking. I am a very goal-driven person with high standards, especially when it comes to delivering the ultimate guest service experience, achieving top financial results, and keeping the staff happy and healthy. I would describe my management style as approachable, self-driven and selfmotivated and holistic. The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong is the highest hotel in the world, located at an altitude of 490 metres in the International Commerce Centre (ICC). It’s an incredible feeling working here, and we always strive to deliver the most personalised service possible and memorable experiences for our guests. When we achieve this, we truly feel we are on top of the world! Nowadays, social media is vital in promoting our brand. We use various online channels to interact with the public, bringing our hotel’s top-class service and facilities to the fore by providing essential and up- to-date information alongside reviews written by our guests. The Ozone bar at our hotel is a must-visit attraction. It’s the highest bar in the world and offers a unique, spectacular view of the entire Victoria Harbour and the city’s amazing skyline. I’d also suggest visitors check out various markets in close proximity to the hotel, such as the Temple Street Night Market, Ladies Market, Jade Market and Flower Market in Kowloon, where they can catch a glimpse of the vibrant local culture here. ■

我很早就決定要進入酒店業了。我16歲開始在家鄉瑞士當侍應生,後來在瑞 士洛桑酒店管理學院獲得榮譽學位,同時我一直努力學習各種語言,現在我 會說英文、德文和法文,以及一些其他語言的基本會話。 我在1990年來到香港,這裡確實是世界上工作和生活最理想的地方之一。它 快速、充滿活力和競爭激烈的氛圍驅使我們每天都竭盡全力工作,而且這是 一個漂亮、現代、四通八達的城市。我非常熱愛香港和這裡的人。 除了歐洲和北美的世界一流城市以外,我也曾在一些經歷戰爭、暴動和炸彈 襲擊的國家工作。在這些地方生活的經歷令我懂得在任何困難的境況下,最 好的應對方法是保持鎮定和樂觀。要讓你的客人和員工知道害怕是無濟於事 的,這一點很重要,沉著冷靜能令你擁有更清晰的思維。 我是一個對自己要求很高、有目標的人,特別是在為客人提供高質素服務、 達成最好的財務業績和令員工保持快樂和健康這些方面。我認為我的管理方 式是平易近人的,同時強調自主性、自我激勵和整體性。 香港麗思卡爾頓酒店是全球最高酒店,位於環球貿易廣場內490米的高空, 在這裡工作的感覺妙不可言,我們一直致力於為客人提供個性化服務和難忘 的體驗。當我們成功做到的時候,真的十分開心! 如今在品牌宣傳方面,社交媒體的作用非常重要。我們一直通過多個網上平 台與大家互動,提供最新資訊和顧客反饋,以展現我們酒店一流的服務和設 施。 我們酒店的Ozone Bar就是一個必到之處。它是世界上最高的酒吧,能讓你 飽覽獨一無二的維港壯麗全景和耀眼的天際線。我建議遊客們還可以到酒店 附近的市集逛逛,例如廟街夜市、女人街、玉器市場和花墟,體驗香港豐富 多彩的本地文化。■
