Hong Kong is seeking to woo wealthy travelers from the Middle East and Southeast Asia as it looks to revive visitor numbers to the city.
Quick to embrace the trend are the Grand Hyatt, which last year introduced the Koran in rooms, adapted its saunas and steam rooms and added alcohol-free options to minibars, and Chinesology, a high-end restaurant at the International Financial Center where UBS Group AG and Millennium Management have offices. It now offers 20 Chinese dishes and two tasting menus halal-friendly, with prices ranging from HK$880 to HK$1,388 ($113-$179) per person.
