1. About Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Kowloon East
Crowne Plaza Hong Kong Kowloon East is operated by IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) and is one of the premier business and leisure hotels in the Tseung Kwan O area. The hotel stands 25 storeys tall with over 350 guest rooms, each featuring floor-to-ceiling windows. Higher-floor rooms offer panoramic views of Clear Water Bay or the Tseung Kwan O cityscape.
For visitors, the main draw is not simply "sleeping here" but rather diverse dining experiences and exceptional value for day packages. Whether you want a refined buffet meal, a quiet workspace for half a day of remote work, or a weekend city getaway (staycation) with family, this hotel delivers.
Best of all, booking through Klook typically saves you 15–25% compared to the official website or on-site prices, and the platform offers free cancellation — no risk at all.
2. Buffet Dining — Complete Guide
The hotel's flagship restaurant is Café on the PARK, one of Tseung Kwan O's most popular buffet venues, with spacious and bright surroundings featuring international fusion cuisine.
Lunch Buffet
Service hours: daily 12:00–14:30. The menu includes Japanese sashimi and sushi stations, Chinese dim sum, Western salads and cold cuts, live noodle and teppanyaki corners, plus a dessert bar. Lunch is lighter and more health-conscious than dinner — fewer options (about 20% fewer than dinner) but friendlier prices. Via Klook, lunch is just HK$198, saving you over HK$50 versus on-site rates.
Best for: business lunches, friend gatherings, dining with elderly relatives.
Dinner Buffet
Service hours: 18:30–21:30. The dinner spread is significantly expanded: fresh oyster bar, roasted meat stations (beef brisket, lamb racks), live seafood cooking (lobster and crab, subject to seasonal availability), plus a more extensive dessert selection. Friday seafood night is the week's highlight — extra seafood is added and it's the most popular slot.
Klook dinner price is HK$328; Fridays and weekends typically add HK$50–80. We recommend booking 3–5 days ahead on Klook, as popular dates fill up quickly.
Themed Buffets
The restaurant rotates themed buffets regularly. Past offerings have included:
- Wagyu feast: Australian M7+ wagyu served unlimited, premium add of around HK$80;
- Southeast Asian food festival: Thai tom yum, Singapore chilli crab, Vietnamese rice noodles;
- Christmas / New Year special dinners: exclusive desserts and countdown events;
- Family fun theme: kids' cooking stations plus junior chef experiences.
Themes rotate seasonally — check the Klook activity page for current offerings.
3. Staycation Packages
Hong Kong's staycation trend is thriving — spending a night in a local hotel for the resort feel without airfare. Crowne Plaza's staycation deals have always been competitive:
| Package | Includes | Klook Price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard staycation | 1 night deluxe room + breakfast for 2 + late checkout (14:00) | HK$988 |
| Upgraded staycation | 1 night premium room + breakfast for 2 + dinner buffet for 2 | HK$1,280 |
| Premium staycation | 1 night executive room + executive lounge + breakfast & dinner for 2 + welcome drinks | HK$1,580 |
All staycation packages include outdoor pool and fitness centre access. Weekend bookings should be made at least a week in advance, especially during summer holidays and Christmas periods.
Tip: The upgraded package is the best value — the dinner buffet for 2 alone is worth around HK$656. Combined with a night's stay plus breakfast, the overall value far exceeds the standard package.
