Location

Rambler Crest was built on the former site of a Mobil oil depot, located on Tsing Yi Road, Tsing Yi, NT. To the east are Hutchison Telecom Building and Container Terminal No.9. To the northwest are Cheung Ching Estate and Mayfair Gardens.

History

The site was originally planned for hotel use only, rather than residential use because of its proximity to Container Terminal 9 already owned by Hutchison.

However, the development turned out to be a slab block of 3 hotels at the front and 5 additional 40-storey residential blocks at the back.[2] The residential complex consists of 800 units of 2 or 3 bedroom flats with Gross Floor Areas from approx. 680 - 950 square feet (63 - 88 square meter) (translating into net usable floor area of between 540 and 760 square feet (50 and 71 square meter)).

Hotels and shopping centre

The estate has a small shopping centre at the ground floor, and includes clubhouse facilities.

There are three hotels, each with roughly 800 rooms.

Rambler Garden Hotel

The Rambler Garden Hotel is owned and managed by Harbour Plaza Hotel Management.

Rambler Oasis Hotel

The Rambler Oasis Hotel is owned and managed by Harbour Plaza Hotel Management.

Winland 800 Hotel

The Winland 800 Hotel is operated by Hong Kong-based Mexan Limited.[3] It has 800 rooms and was formerly called Mexan Harbour Hotel.

Transport

There are two Maxicab lines in the estate:

The nearest bus-stop is above the hill, at Tsing Yi Road, outside Cheung Ching Estate which is well served by a number of Kowloon Motor Bus service routes. A32 of Long Win Bus is a direct bus service linking Rambler Crest to the Hong Kong International Airport.[4]
