(Hong Kong, August 08, 2014) Nine families with kids aged between three and nine were invited to join a fun-filled "Treasure Hunt - Family FUN" event organised by Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong on July 20. This exciting yet enlightening 'kids Amazing Race' was held in line with the launch of the hotel's Beyond Thoughtful - Family & Us campaign, in which during the event, parents and kids were able to experience firsthand the incredibly warm service and a series of newly introduced kid-friendly rooms and amenities specially designed with kids' needs in mind.

Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong is once again raising the bar in the family travel market in Hong Kong as it continues to innovate and upgrade its already extensive range of sensational family rooms and amenities. At this Family hotel in Hong Kong, the kids' favourites are Family Quad Room that features a plethora of toys and gadgets; award-winning Toy Suite designed to resemble a mini indoor playground and the ever popular Ocean Park Suite presented in accordance to the renowned theme park with all sorts of Ocean Park's plush toys and souvenirs, not to mention a slew of kid-pleasing freebies from welcome gift to toy, sweet treats, bookmark and many more.

"Everything we do, we do it all for the kids. Their experience is what we hold dear to our hearts and we want the kids to go "Wowww, I love it!" with eyes sparkled with unbelievable joy every time they stay with us. So launching of this family-oriented campaign is to assure our family travellers that Cosmopolitan Hotel is the only place where parents and kids can truly experience a unique and exceptional family vacation," said Ms. Anita Chan, General Manager of Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong.

"Experiencing is believing, and this was the reason we organised the treasure hunt game, inviting our guests, travel trade partners and staff to come together to witness these amazing new additions that are built on four core elements – fun, caring and educational," said Ms. Anita Chan.

This action-packed treasure hunt game was held in the hotel where all the kids are required to complete nine missions in the shortest time possible. During the game, they were introduced to all the nine new fun-inducing and educational in-room amenities such as measuring the correct distance to watch a movie, reading with parents, finding the hidden gem and many more. The champion of the hunt would win home a one-night stay at Cosmopolitan Hotel's newly renovated Toy Suite, scrumptious dinner for three at Grand Aquarium restaurant and an up-close and personal meeting with adorable dolphin at Ocean Park! Miss. Alicia Birtles and family from Australia won the Champion title by completing all nine missions in just 17 minutes.

"Everyone made us feel incredibly welcome and special with their genuine hospitality. The new additions are also now very much child-oriented, toiletries for babies, kids amenities, mobile kids library, DVD, snack box on arrival, teddy bear as a gift. My personal feeling of Cosmopolitan's experience gets better every time we stay there, can't imagine next time as it will be hard to beat," said Mr. Birtles.

"I have had a lot of fun today and have been excited ever since I received the invite from the hotel. To win made me feel like a princess! Everything I received from the hotel was amazing and awesome," enthused the 9-year-old Miss Alicia after being crowned the Champion of the Treasure Hunt at the hotel's after-party.

Testimonial from Travel Trade Partners - "Home-away-from-home…Fun and Educational Stay" Quoted Expedia.com and Booking.com

Hotel's trade partners Booking.com and Expedia.com were among the families who joined the game. "It was a brilliant idea to spark interest in their new products among the families. My daughter and I enjoyed the game just as much as we enjoyed discovering their new amenities for the kids. Now my 4-year-old daughter keeps asking me when can she stay at Cosmopolitan Hotel again," said Ms. Jenny Wong, Expedia's Area Manager - Hong Kong, Macau & Taiwan.

"As a frequent traveller, I find a hotel that suits the need for all ages is always a challenge. Cosmopolitan Hotel definitely gives a home away from home when it comes to family needs," she added.

On the other hand, Mr. Calvert, the Area Manager – Hong Kong, Taiwan & Macau from Booking.com, was also one of the delighted families who was amazed with the out-of-the-box event organised by the hotel to let the families experience its new features in an engaging and meaningful way. "What Cosmopolitan Hotel offers to the family vacationers were very clever and thoughtful. My participation in their treasure hunt game had me convinced that an ordinary stay at a hotel can be so much fun and enlightening. It was truly a great experience for me and my family and I doubt there is parent or kid not tempted to stay here."

One Family Programme – Caring From Within and Beyond

This Treasure Hunt also welcomed employees to join as part of the hotel's ongoing internal One Family Programme, which aims to promote stronger family bonds. Among nine participating families, three were hotel's staff families and more than 30 staff volunteered to help out on that day to ensure the game was a smooth one. "Cosmopolitan Hotel is like one big family where everyone here cares for each other and works together harmoniously with synergy. Our cheerful and caring team is what makes families staying at Cosmopolitan Hotel feel special and loved," said Ms. Chan.
