of new properties in Hong
Kong I was engaged by
the Hyatt corporation
to conceptualize and
produce a one of a kind
event in the Cambridge
Hyatt.
“The Streets of Hong Kong”

After checking in, guests
were directed down the
airplane gangway, at the
a smoke screen provided
mysterious intrigue as
guests stepped through
and found themselves on
the streets of Hong Kong.
Invitations were designed to replicate first class
airline tickets. Guests were greeted in the drive
up by uniformed “Sky Caps”, then led to the “First
Class” ticket counter for check-in

The main street featured

even live chickens
walking about.
The end of the main street featured the
“Food Wharf” dramatic displays of Hong Kong
