Hotel
B P International has 529 rooms and seven suites, accommodating over one thousand guests. All rooms have quality modern amenities. For conferences and other large groups, the Gordon Wu Hall on the upper ground floor can hold up to 1,000 people in various settings. The first five floors of the building provide a 500+ spaces parking area. The three restaurants are in the basement and on the ground floor.
Although the B P International is connected to the Scout Association of Hong Kong, it is commercially autonomous, and presents a minimal Scout presence in the lobby. Scouts may receive reduced rates at request.[3]
