Intercontinental Hong Kong is an iconic five star hotel in Kowloon. It is right on the water’s edge with a sensational view of Hong Kong island from every room. Main areas, including a grand lobby, Club lounge and waterfront restaurants feature floor to ceiling windows and give an impression of being on board of an ultra luxurious cruise ship.

Forbes Guide seems to agree with us – Intercontinental is the only hotel in Hong Kong that won Forbes 5 Stars for a number of years in a row.

Many of the 503 rooms have harbour views – a select few have outdoor spa pools. Junior Suites cater for those who like to have a little more space while One-bedroom suites are perfect for luxury travellers.

Suggestion: get the Club InterContinental service, which includes a private lounge, cocktails, and appetizers. But save your appetite for dinner. The InterContinental has an array of restaurants, including the first international outpost of Paris’s most famous seafood restaurant Rech by Alain Ducasse and the Michelin-star Yan Toh Heen.

You’re steps from the Star Ferry Terminal and Mass Transit Railway, so you can easily get anywhere in the city. Or if you choose to stay in – the I-Spa, with Feng Shui design, is a top Hong Kong wellness retreat or simply watch the ever-changing view of Victoria Harbour and the dazzling Hong Kong skyline from your room or the Lobby Lounge over a cocktail.
