InterContinental Hong Kong

Kowloon


The InterContinental might look like an '80s office block, but so what when you have the finest waterfront spot in the territory? Impeccable service ensures that the business VIPs and rock stars keep coming back, while colonial nods include a pair of metallic-blue Rolls Royce phantoms, door staff liveried in white and incessant brass polishing.

In-room check-in, butler service and sunken bath-tubs come as standard, but not all rooms have harbour views. If you have the wallet for it, InterCon has five fabulous eateries with multiple Michelin stars between them. The lobby lounge bar has the best views in Hong Kong.
