[edit] 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 residential blocks at the back. The residential complex consists of 8oo 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)).

[edit] Hotel and shopping centre

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

There are three hotels, namely:

Mexan Harbour Hotel (owned by Mexan Shanghai but managed by Harbour Plaza Hotel Group, a subsidiary of Hutchison)

Rambler Garden Hotel

Rambler Oasis Hotel (owned and managed by Harbour Plaza).

[edit] 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 west are Cheung Ching Estate and Mayfair Gardens.

[edit] Trivia

The 200 m (656 feet) private swimming pool at Rambler Crest is the longest swimming pool in Hong Kong.
The name Rambler comes from the name of nearby channel, Rambler Channel.

[edit] Transport

There are two Maxicab lines in the estate:

88F to Tsing Yi MTR Station
88G to Kwai Fong MTR Station

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.
