The Excelsior (Chinese: 怡東酒店) is a four-star hotel located at 281 Gloucester Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island, in Hong Kong. It is owned and operated by Mandarin Oriental, and serves as the group's headquarters. The Noon-day Gun is located opposite the hotel.
The location of the hotel is "Lot No.1", which was the first plot of land sold at auction after Hong Kong became a British Colony in 1841. The hotel was developed on the original godown of Jardine Matheson and was officially opened on February 20, 1973. The hotel was the first in Hong Kong to have more than 1,000 rooms.
The Excelsior has several cafés and restaurants:
Like several other buildings along the Victoria Harbour, the Excelsior Hotel uses a seawater air conditioning system. The seawater source for the system originates from the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter.
