Hong Kong's 1881 Heritage area is a repurposing of an older district as a modern luxury venue. The site was the headquarters of the Hong Kong Marine Police from the 1880s to 1997 but now features shopping and a grand hotel located in historical former Marine Police Headquarters' in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Hullett House will have large suites with private balconies offering views of the city and Victoria Harbor. Suites are decorated in a variety of styles referencing the many eras of Hong Kong's history with design cues from imperial China and the English countryside. The hotel will also have five restaurants and bars, a souvenir store and a performance area. The restaurants will include contemporary European dining, an old British-style pub with its own jail cells, and a gourmet Cantonese restaurant. The hotel will open later this year.
