During his interview with the media, Simon Yam mentioned his earlier involvement in the TV drama "One Dream One Home," a realistic masterpiece produced as a tribute to the 20th anniversary of Macau's return to the motherland, for which he became the first Hong Kong actor to win the prestigious Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor. He was now invited to the opening ceremony of the Hotel Central, which celebrates the 25th anniversary of Macau's return, feeling he has a special connection with Macao. Yam stated that he feels privileged to have witnessed Macau's development and transformations over the decades and regards Macau as a charming place.
Looking ahead, Hotel Central aims to integrate with other Lek Hang Group projects in the vicinity, such as the Restaurante Pou Seak and "City Inn", transforming Rua dos Mercadores into a new commercial hub by collaborating with nearby attractions and merchants, thereby enhancing the area's appeal to tourists.
