.Pottinger Street was named after Sir Henry Pottinger, the first Governor of Hong Kong. Being the first historic stone slab street in Hong Kong since 1840s, the street is granted Grade I historic status by Antiquities Advisory Board of Hong Kong. It was originally paved with stone slabs, which it is better known as the Stone Slab Street by the locals. To ascend or descend further along Pottinger Street, intriguing scenes of distinctive green tin hawker stalls, century-old tenement buildings, stylish and upscale boutique stores can be found.
Six cosy, Studio Suites named after the streets around The Pottinger Hong Kong are designed with a touch of oriental flavour, heritage and a sense of home.
The street was named after Arthur Wellesley, first Duke of Wellington. There are many famous restaurants along Wellington Street, like Yung Kee, Tsui Wah restaurant and Mak’s noodles at the east side while famous Lin Heung Tea House is at the west side. World-wide famous Lan Kwai Fong is near the east side of the Wellington Street.
Middle Sheung Wan was the earliest area to be developed since the beginning of urban development of Hong Kong, and Hollywood Road was the first road ever built. The origin of the road comes from the holly shrubs which were growing in the area when the road as constructed.
We can find the theme of “Modernity meets Heritage” throughout Hollywood Road. Talking about the tradition side, there is a Man Mo Temple which was built in 1847, it is popular among believers of the God of Literature (Man) and the God of War (Mo) all the year. Besides those modern antiques shops, there are many western restaurants and bars in Soho area which is situated on the southern side of Hollywood Road.
In 1889, the north shore of Central was under extensive reclamation and Connaught Road, the major road that runs the length of Central, was named after Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn when he visited Hong Kong in 1890. The road construction was completed in 1903 and started open to traffic. Distinguished architectures representing Hong Kong are now situated along Connaught Road including International Finance Centre (ifc), Statue Square, Hong Kong City Hall and more.
At the end of the Stanley Street and near the junction of Cochrane Street, there are still some Dai Pai Dong that have been operating for many years. The popular phrase “Squat on Dai Pai Dong” literally means that there is a long wooden bench outside the Dai Pai Dong and it can sit 4-5 customers.
Under the development of the British colonial government, streets were mainly named after members of British Royal Family or important officials. In the first central district reclaimed land auction in 1891, Kam Li Yuen, a Tai Shan rich merchant, successfully won the bid for the land of Li Yuen Street East and West and named the land after himself. In the colonial period, it was very rare for the streets in central district to be named after a Chinese. Thus, these two streets represent the status of a wealthy Chinese businessman at that time.
Central used to be little more than a sandy beach with a footpath running along it. In 1840s, the British picked Central as their administrative heart and by then, Central became the new centre of commerce and administration and quickly attracted many local Chinese looking to work, trade and make money. Extensive reclamation was done over the years and Queen’s Road in Central marks the original shoreline. Central, is now widely known as the dynamic and vibrant centre of Hong Kong, a pivotal hub of business and finance, shopping, dining, culture and entertainment.

The Pottinger Hong Kong is a hotel located in Hong Kong’s central business district. Until the 1840s, the area known today as Central was little more than a sandy beach with a footpath running along it. But when the British decided to relocate from Stanley to a more suitable spot, Central was their choice. The new centre of commerce and administration quickly attracted many local Chinese looking to work, trade and make money, and the population squeezed into the narrow land between mountain and sea soared to over 25,000 by 1850....
The many trading warehouses or ‘hongs’ built along the waterfront quickly made Central a major hub for local trade, and it eventually replaced Canton (Guangzhou) as the main trading port and business centre in the Pearl River Delta. British Hong Kong boomed, and Central was right at its heart. Pressure of space led to extensive reclamation over the years; Queen’s Road in Central marks the original shoreline, so hotel guests at The Pottinger Hong Kong are within a stone’s-throw of the waterline of 150 years ago.
Pottinger Street, dating from the 1850s, is one of the oldest streets in Central district and is granted Grade I historic status by Antiquities Advisory Board of Hong Kong. It is named after Hong Kong's first Governor, Sir Henry Eldred Curwen Pottinger. Originally, when Queen’s Road ran along the waterfront, Pottinger Street started at Queen’s Road and ran uphill in a series of steep steps to Hollywood Road. Following later reclamation, Pottinger Street was extended along the flat reclaimed land northwards to Connaught Road Central.
The older, steeper part of Pottinger Street is laid out as a series of granite steps, designed for pedestrians and pole-carried vehicles only. This gives it its local Chinese name, which translates as ‘Stone Slab Street’. The unique and atmospheric stone steps have made it a popular location for filming Hong Kong movies and TV series.
During World War II, a 75-metre tunnel was built under Pottinger Street as an air-raid shelter. It was never used and was finally filled in the 1980s amid concerns that it might collapse.

In 1878, the young Silvano Venchi conceptualized the Nougatine, small candies made of crushed and caramelized hazelnuts coated in dark chocolate; his first confectionary laboratory in Turin soon gained national popularity across Italy. Fast forward 130 years, Venchi remains committed to its "chocolate soul", the essence of the brand, expressed uniquely throughout our products, and taste is never compromised. Using exclusive recipes and extraordinary ingredients, which have never been altered by chemical processes or preservatives, Venchi's chocolate provides the most authentic and most original taste. Venchi built upon its heritage and success in Italy, and launched a new unique retail format known as the "chocogelateria", a mono-branded Italian artisanal gelato and chocolate shop in 2007.

The First Opium War ended with the Treaty of Nanking, which quickly established Hong Kong as a major trading port of mid 19th-century Asia. With the many ships sailing from Denmark, Portugal and England, tea emerged as one of the main commodities. A strong English influence remains in present day Hong Kong, and the enjoyment of afternoon tea is one of those little luxuries. Paying tribute to Sir Henry Pottinger, The Envoy aims to serve a contemporary high-tea menu with cocktail pairings, while hosting an executive lunch on weekdays, and light dinners daily, featuring spirited libations well into the night with a spacious outdoor terrace.
