What's New
The "Railcation" promotion has so far taken rail fans and the like to Shatin and Lantau Island. As the promotion enters its third phase, we are teaming up with Regal Kowloon Hotel to present a nostalgic theme, which will take guests on an MTR journey through the 1980s-90s. The new accommodation package will go on public sale on 7 July 2023 for hotel stays starting from 7 August 2023.
Over the past 40 years or so, MTR has committed in providing the public with convenient and comfortable train journeys. To this end, MTR trains and tickets have evolved in make and design to better serve passengers. Highlighting MTR’s past, the latest Railcation is hoped to offer guests a better understanding of the MTR’s development and bring back good memories of the old days in a relaxing environment.
To kick off their nostalgic Railcation, guests will "board" a first-generation MTR train at the Tsim Sha Tsui Station of the 1980s. Once inside the themed rooms, they can appreciate the decorations that are inspired by MTR train compartments and signature station mosaics in multifarious colours. Meanwhile, the corridors are transformed into compartments of trains from the 1980s and a look out of the windows offers the city’s famous neon-lit night views.
In addition, guests can visit Café Allegro for the train-themed photo spots, and look for rail-related elements such as old MTR ticket machines and trains scattered across the restaurant.

Railcation guests will find not just nostalgic MTR-themed décor in different parts of the hotel, but also interactive elements such as the "Light Rail Game Zone". Themed on the retired Phase 2 Light Rail Vehicle (LRV II), this dedicated area will be showcasing old components of a retired LRV II, from seats to handrails and emergency exits. There will also be a larger-than-life board game inviting children to enjoy a different kind of Light Rail experience.
The nostalgic Railcation promises a unique experience for grown-ups and kids alike, evoking memories among the former and offering the latter a fun-filled lesson on local culture and the history of MTR. Passing from one generation to the next, the collective memory of Hongkongers lives on.
