Shamrock Lodge No. 712 meets at Zetland Hall which is also home to other Masonic Lodges and Orders which are warranted to meet in Hong Kong. This is the second Zetland Hall as the first was destroyed by bomb damage during the Pacific War. The foundation stone of the new hall was laid in 1947, and the building was dedicated in 1950. The Hall was re-dedicated on 30 January 2000.
The Lodges that meet here belong to one of three governing bodies:
- English Constitution
- Irish Constitution
- Scottish Constitution
The Hall is located at 1 Kennedy Road, Mid Level, Hong Kong.
For overseas visitors: it is an easy walk from Central, up the hill beyond the lower Peak Tram terminus. However, it is often simpler (especially in our hot and humid weather) to take a taxi. Just tell the taxi driver to take you to:
- English: "1 Kennedy Road"
- Cantonese: "gin nei dei do yat ho"
- Putonghua: "jian ni di dao yi hao"

Zetland Hall is managed by a board of trustees, consisting of one representative from each of eighteen craft lodges resident in Hong Kong. Each trustee holds his appointment entirely at the pleasure of his Lodge.
The Hall is professionally operated by a General Manager and a full-time staff:
