Hacker - Callan McAuliffe (2016) - Harbour Grand Hotel, Hung Hom

The trio finally arrive at their hotel, which turns out to be the Harbour Grand in Kowloon. This is not the first time this hotel has been used in a movie, and coincidentally was seen in another "hacker" movie released the same year, Snowden. In that film though it is pretending to be the Mira Hotel. The group rent the Presindetial Suite and I do believe it is the actual suite that you can see in the film so I have included those images below as well.

The bottom double screen shot is from the later sequence when Alex and Kira go on an ATM withdrawal spree. I think it is supposed to show Kira going to an ATM but it was obviously filmed in the front courtyard of the hotel.

In my last The Thieves post, after settling the diamond heist with the Triad gang in South Korea, the story moves back to Hong Kong as the gang go their separate ways. The end scene was shot on the rooftop of the Harbour Grand Hotel in Kowloon. This is the same place seen a few years later in The Confidence Man JP: The Movie.

The hotel rooftop where Dako meets Jessie is the Harbour Grand Hotel in Hung Hom. The hotel has been seen a few times before on the blog but not from the rooftop.

One of the hotels where Matteo stays is the Harbour Grand Hotel in Hung Hom. There is a brief view from the room window down to the main road, as well as later when Jiazhen goes to wait for him in the foyer. This is the hotel's third appearance on the blog (so far) with other, later, appearances in Snowden (standing in for The Mira) and The Mole Song: Hong Kong Capriccio.

Despite the action all going on over in Central, the scene with all the cop cars supposedly arriving at the base of the IFC2 was actually filmed over in Kowloon at the Harbour Grand Hotel.

Snowden - Joseph Gordon-Levitt (2016) - Harbour Grand Hotel, Whampoa

Although we know that Snowden was holed up at The Mira, the shots where Glenn Greenwald (played by Zachary Quinto) is meeting up with Tibbo prior to Snowden's escape from the hotel, were actually filmed at the Harbour Grand on the Whampoa waterfront.
