According to this page on IHG's Careers website, the eagerly-anticipated Regent Hong Kong is hiring Directors of Sales & Marketing, Human Resources, Food & Beverage and Revenue, as well as an Executive Chef. They've also added the following details on the property:

"Regent Hotels & Resorts set the benchmark for luxury hotels when it was founded 40 years ago. The combined legacy of Regent Hotels & Resorts and the expertise and vision of IHG we are redefining what it means to be a luxury hotel with the rebirth of the Regent and what it stands for in todays world of Luxury. With a clear expectation of what it means to deliver a phenomenal experience to luxury guests, Regent will regain its stature as a leading luxury Hotel brand as it exceeds the expectations of today’s luxury traveler.The Regent will be reborn with the re-opening of the flagship Regent Hong Kong in early 2022.

THE BASICS

Location: Regent Hong Kong, a landmark destination with unrivalled Harborview - all of Hong Kong is literally at your feet.

Scale of operation: 503 rooms and Suites, The Regent Club, Harborside Restaurant & The Steakhouse Bar & Grill, The Lobby Lounge, the world famous NOBU restaurant and the addition of a very new exciting F&B offering! For Conferencing and meeting guests, the Regent Ballroom remains one of Hong Kong’s largest pillarless venues, whilst our Harborview Meeting Rooms set the scene for amazing meetings and functions rooms. The hotel features an Oasis Swimming Pool & Deck with a world class Fitness Centre and Spa."

Based on the photo below I found online taken July 16th, the exterior is still barely shrouded over on the corners and scaffolding has just started going up on the podium, but the InterContinental logo is still on the building. If they plan to relaunch in early 2022, I wonder if they'll even redo the exterior as planned or are skipping it over - unless they're planning on working at warp speed. Based on the room count of 503 rooms, it seems they're not even altering the footprint of the rooms.

One to watch.
