Kai Tak Concert 2025: Summer Soundwaves Lineup & Where to Stay

When Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr Football Club touched down in Hong Kong for their highly anticipated match – the Saudi Super Cup, fans across the city buzzed with excitement. Beyond the cheers in the Hong Kong Stadium, there was another question of interest: where would the football legends find the peace and privacy they needed to prepare for the big game? The answer would be one of the city’s most iconic hotels – Regent Hong Kong, which proved to be the ideal haven for world-class athletes. For players of Ronaldo’s stature, security and discretion are equally as important as comfort; and Regent Hong Kong offered an environment where the team could focus entirely on the match, free from unnecessary interruptions. From carefully managed arrivals and departures to seamless arrangements, the hotel created a Personal Haven that balanced safety with sophistication. Personal Haven Privacy was another major factor. Athletes who constantly live in the spotlight need space to recharge (and a welcome break from the deluge of adoring fans); and Regent Hong Kong provided exactly that. The players were able to retreat into luxurious suites that felt more like personal sanctuaries than hotel rooms, giving them the calm and rest required to perform at their peak. Service on Your Terms – 24/7 When the world’s top professional athletes are travelling and competing at the highest level like Cristiano and his teammates, their rigorous training routines and strict dietary requirements cannot skip a beat. To ensure that every meal, special dietary need and personal preference were seamlessly accommodated, the hotel’s experienced team worked hand-in-hand with Al-Nassr’s chef and managers. Regent Hong Kong’s Events team and Experience Agents, all highly trained to provide intuitive service, seamlessly presented the customised meals with impeccable execution and precise timing to fit within the athletes’ rigorous schedules.  From crafting special menus to catering to dietary requirements and preferences, Regent Hong Kong’s culinary team can accommodate any requests – providing service on your terms. A Place to Recharge and Refresh When choosing the team’s “home base” in Hong Kong for the extended stay, it was also crucial that the selected hotel have the recreational facilities to fit the athletes’ discerning criteria. In Regent’s 24-hour Fitness Centre, outfitted with the latest Technogym equipment, the athletes were able to maintain their rigorous workout routines.  They also had some much needed downtime to enjoy the lush Pool Terrace with its large outdoor swimming pool. Here they found a refuge for relaxation and rejuvenation in the hotel’s iconic infinity spa pools overlooking Victoria Harbour. This proved to be a soothing and mesmerising interlude following the cold plunge therapy set up for the athletes in the surrounding area, where they could literally soak in the harbourviews. Day to Evening Rituals After intensive training sessions and the high intensity matches of the Saudi Super Cup, upon returning to their Personal Havens at Regent Hong Kong, the players discovered the hotel’s signature “Day-to-Evening Rituals”. From the privacy of their suites with windowfront daybeds, they could watch Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong skyline transform into a vibrant display of lights. With the hotel’s reimagining of the traditional “turn-down service”, bedside wellness amenities provided a personal touch of rejuvenation with soothing face masks and eye creams by Perricone MD, known for its anti-aging, high potency, science-driven skincare. A Prime Location Location also played a role in making Regent Hong Kong the stand-out choice for the high-profile football team. With its prime Kowloon position, uniquely perched on the edge of Victoria Harbour in Tsim Sha Tsui, the hotel combines cinematic views with convenience to create an unforgettable experience. Here the majesty of the harbour and skyline juxtapose the serenity within this urban sanctuary – elevated above the high-octane pulse of the city. All the while, the team had easy access to the stadium and Hong Kong’s highlights, with many of the city’s top attractions at their doorstep. The Ultimate Haven for Discreet Luxury and Unparalleled Excellence The stay of football legend Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr club at Regent Hong Kong highlighted what many already know — this hotel is more than a place to sleep; it’s a trusted refuge for those who demand excellence in both performance and lifestyle. For athletes, celebrities or any traveller in search of privacy, safety, first-class service and cuisine, Regent Hong Kong continues to set the standard.
