Exploring Hong Kong's Industrial History: Camel's Footprints at Camlux Hotel
Witness to Camel's History: Camlux Hotel
In Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, there's a special place that bears witness to the historical footsteps of Camel, and that's Camlux Hotel. This hotel is not only a comfortable place to stay but also a unique venue that integrates Hong Kong's industrial history.
Guardian of Traditional Industrial Base
Camel has a long-standing history in Hong Kong, and Camlux Hotel sits on the site of the former Camel factory. This location witnessed the challenging times of Hong Kong's industrial development. In the 1980s, many factories moved north to mainland China, but Camel remained in Hong Kong, continuing to manufacture for the city. Thus, in 1986, Camel acquired this piece of land and established the "sole hot and cold water pot factory," becoming the production base for Camel water pots.
Vibrant Presentation of Industrial Heritage
The old factory was equipped with machinery such as metal presses, spray booths, injection molds, and even a glass furnace weighing over 100 tons, serving as the base for producing every classic product. After more than 25 years of operation, Camel's factory relocated to Hung Hom, and the former site in Kowloon Bay was transformed into a hotel - Camlux Hotel. We incorporated Camel's history and the charm of Hong Kong's industrial vibe into the hotel's decoration. You can see various decorations bearing Camel's logo in every corner of the hotel, allowing you to feel as if you've traveled through time and experienced the pulse of Hong Kong's industrial scene.
A Culinary Experience Fusing History and Modernity
Café 15, the hotel's restaurant, vividly showcases this industrial heritage. Here, you can admire hand-drawn blueprints, view historical photos, and even visit exhibitions featuring classic Camel flasks. You can even spot the Camel molds used during Queen Elizabeth's coronation, witnessing Camel's history and legacy. These precious artifacts exude the unique charm of Camel, allowing you to feel the fusion of past and present while dining, as if you're immersed in the river of history.
Indulge in Gastronomic Delights and Trace the Footsteps of the Industrial Era
In addition to this rich history, Café 15 offers a variety of culinary feasts, bringing together local and international cuisines to cater to different tastes. The signature dish, "Secret-Roasted Suckling Pig," is especially beloved by guests, with many food enthusiasts making special trips to savor it. Your taste buds won't be disappointed here.
