Stay 100% free from second and third hand smoke Enjoy an Oasis within the Business Epicenter

(Hong Kong, July 27, 2010) As a growing number of travelers are more concern about having a healthy and smoke-free environment, effective August 1, 2010, Cosmo Hotel Hong Kong goes 100% smoke-free in all guest rooms and indoor areas, making it the first 4-star smoke-free hotel in Hong Kong.

An oasis found in the hustle and bustle

Located within the hectic business and entertainment area of Causeway Bay and Wan Chai, Cosmo Hotel visions the indispensable need of providing a health-conscious and smoke-sensitive environment for global travelers. The hotel understands that offering a choice of smoking/non-smoking room is no longer adequate as third hand smoke – the residue of tobacco smoke that settles in the air even after a cigarette has been extinguished – affects human health on an equal level. Considering this, Cosmo Hotel decides to make 100% smoke-free in all guest rooms and indoor areas, yet the outdoor Breeze is still available for smokers, and become an oasis within the busy jungle, hoping to contribute a piece of smoke-free wonderland. “Providing our guests absolute comfort is always the aim we strive to achieve. Now with this new measure, we guarantee our guests the best quality of an environment to stay in. We see ourselves as a smoke-free zone within the busy-happening jungle just as an oasis in a dessert” said Anita Chan, General Manager of Cosmo Hotel Hong Kong.

Being socially responsible for all guests and staff

Since all hotel rooms share the same ventilation system and central air conditioning unit, the fact is particles infused with smoke are unavoidably transferred throughout the hotel via air circulation. With this in mind, Cosmo Hotel finds it necessary to implement a 100% smoke-free policy so as to ensure its guests a perfect staying environment. Benefits extend not only to guests but hotel staff since their working environment is now greatly improved.
