Mr. Sio Chong Meng, Founder and Chairman of Lek Hang Group, stated, "The group's renovation project for Hotel Central was carried out with a commitment to preserving the original structure and street-facing façade. We also preserved the distinctive rooftop features that contribute to the overall architectural integrity of the complex." He added, "We invited CCD Cheng Chung Design (HK) to restore and integrate design elements from the hotel's illustrious past and other nearby heritage buildings of similar vintage into every aspect of the hotel. This labor of love from Lek Hang Group and our partners has been recognized by the industry."

According to the introduction, the guest rooms are located on the fifth to tenth floors of Hotel Central. Each pair of floors is designed to represent a specific era from the 1920s to the 1940s, with delicate and precise design language that showcases the unique charm and cultural reminiscence of those periods.

The 1920s Theme: Comfort and Relaxation The fifth and sixth floors embody the theme of the 1920s, reflecting the early stage of the hotel with a focus on comfortable and relaxed decor. The design avoids overly complicated ornamentation, striking a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics. The spaces feature nostalgic wood veneers and low-saturation gray-green textured paint, evoking a strong retro ambiance.
