The hotel was opened in 1980[1] as The Regent Hong Kong (Chinese: 麗晶酒店) and it was originally owned and managed by New World Development.

In June 2001, New World sold the hotel to Six Continents plc for GB£241 million. Six Continents (now InterContinental Hotels Group PLC) then rebranded the property as the InterContinental Hong Kong.
