At a Glance
Epitomizing classic Hong Kong style, the Shangri-La Island commands an impressive location on the cusp of Central and the Admiralty.
Review
The soaring, marble-clad lobby of the Shangri-La Island demands respect, and the property continues to impress as a visitor or guest moves throughout the property. With an enviable location overlooking Victoria Harbour and with easy access to Central and Admiralty’s dining and shopping options, this property is an excellent choice for those who appreciate traditional, old-world glamour.
The 565 guest rooms and suites are spacious and most offer stunning views of the Peak, the city or Victoria Harbour. Spacious and comfortable, accommodations are done in a traditional décor featuring a mix of European and Asian aesthetics (think thick carpeting, silk upholstered furniture, extra large and very comfortable beds) and—most importantly—huge picture windows.
Guests staying on the Horizon Club floor have access to the lounge, which serves snacks and beverages throughout the day and a hosts a Champagne reception each night. The fabulous breakfast offered in the grand Petrus restaurant shouldn’t be missed—especially the dim sum.
The hotel offers an outdoor swimming pool, spa with sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, massage rooms and hair salon. Ideal for jet-lagged travelers, the gym is open 24-hours.
Who Should Stay
Visitors to Hong Kong who enjoy old-world décor and staying in the center of the city’s action.
