The InterContinental hotel on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront in Hong Kong will lay off about 500 employees as it embarks on a two-year renovation project, a labour union has said.
Alex Tsui, chairman of the Hong Kong Hotel Employees Union, said the workers would have their last working day on May 1.
A small number of staff will be retained to run a Chinese restaurant, Yan Toh Heen, which will remain open during the renovation.
The 503-room hotel will close its doors on April 20 to make way for the facelift.
“The workers learned about it today,” Tsui said. “They felt helpless.”
He said the union was assisting the workers on their compensation.
