This original section of the Hotel was rebuilt several times, but the "Hongkong Hotel" was started, and remained, in this location for almost 85 years.

The original business plan of the Hongkong Hotel Company was to take over and refurbish the Oriental Hotel on Wellington Street. 

Enter Baron Gustav von Overbeck, Consul for Prussia and Austria-Hungary - and listed as an "assistant" at Dent's & Co.

In photos of Hong Kong from the 1890s, this building is hard to miss - it towers over its neighbours on the seafront.

The Metropole Hotel / Belle View Hotel / North Point Hotel, North Point [1898-????]

Submitted by David on Mon, 2010-06-14 16:33
Date Place completed: 
1898-10-22

As Moddsey guessed, this was built where the Metropole Building stands today. The site was bigger then, stretching from King's Road (then the seafront) back to today's Ming Yuen mansions on Peacock Rd.

The notice of the sale gives the lot as IL 1705, which fortunately can still be found on map.gov.hk.
