The Bethanie<br />
Crown Wine Cellars<br />
Another venue sure to tickle the fancy <strong>of</strong> incentive<br />
winners with a passion for history is Crown<br />
Wine Cellars. During WWII, it served as a secret<br />
underground military facility and was the last position<br />
to surrender to the Japanese. Magnificently restored<br />
and reborn as Crown Wine Cellars & Private<br />
Members Club, the facility has gained UNESCO<br />
recognition as an Asia-Pacific Heritage Site. Located<br />
in Shouson Hill, an exclusive part <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong><br />
Island, it boasts six underground cellars and a private<br />
members clubhouse made up <strong>of</strong> two bunkers<br />
located 60ft below ground, accessed through a<br />
newly constructed conservatory. These three<br />
function rooms are connected by a state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art<br />
communication system. The clubhouse is ideal for<br />
private VIP events, from a 20-person high-end dinner<br />
in the Library to a 120-guest sit-down event.<br />
Cyberport<br />
Bethanie & Wellcome Theatre<br />
Located in Pokfulam, the gothic-style Bethanie and<br />
adjacent Wellcome Theatre provide unique additions<br />
to <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong>'s corporate venues. The Bethanie,<br />
built by Missions Etrangeres de Paris (French Mission)<br />
in 1875, once served as a sanatorium and has been<br />
transformed and now includes two performance<br />
venues, an exhibition hall, a chapel and a museum. The<br />
210 sq m function room enjoys natural light from its<br />
high glass ro<strong>of</strong> and <strong>of</strong>fers spectacular views towards<br />
The Peak and the distant outlying islands. The two<br />
adjacent historic octagonal Diary Farm cowsheds have<br />
been converted into an intimate 150-seat performance<br />
space named the Wellcome Theatre, and the adjacent<br />
foyer is suitable for exhibitions, cocktail receptions and<br />
corporate functions.<br />
