The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong Tallest hotel in the world

Mar 19 2011
Filed In: China, Hong Kong, News


TweetThe Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong to be the Tallest hotel in the world | Kowloon, Hong Kong |  Opening next March 29th. 2011, the The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong will officially become the Tallest Hotel in the World. Here you will find exclusive videos and photos taken personally by me this week during my private site inspection of the hotel in Hong Kong. Tallest hotel in the world, set in between the 103rd. to 118th. floor of the ICC Tower in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Featuring 312 luxurious Hong Kong hotel rooms, each with spectacular city and harbour views, guests at The Ritz-Carlton can enjoy a soothing retreat in a one-of-a-kind location. In addition to standard guest rooms, the hotel also offers an array of Deluxe and Island Rooms, Specialty Suites, a magnificent Ritz-Carlton Suite and Ritz-Carlton Club Rooms. Each of these distinctive hotel rooms in Hong Kong offers include 24-hour access to the Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge which offers complimentary food and beverage presentations, as well as a dedicated Club Concierge, work stations, meeting rooms and Wi-Fi.
Literally sleep, dine and entertain yourself among the clouds. The The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong will become the tallest hotel in the world. Their Lobby/Concierge Desk (BTW by Les Clefs d’Or of course) and 4 signature restaurants will be located on the 103rd. floor of the ICC Tower, offering magnificent panoramic views of Hong Kong Island, and Hong Kong Bay. No other hotel in Hong Kong will be able to offer this views from their rooms… yet. !!!

The ICC Tower, Kowloon version of its sister IFC Tower in Hong Kong Island. The skyscraper completed in 2010 in West Kowloon, Hong Kong, making it the tallest building in Hong Kong. It is a part of the Union Square project built on top of Kowloon Station. The development is owned and jointly developed by MTR Corporation Limited and Sun Hung Kai Properties, Hong Kong’s metro operator and largest property developer respectively.
Since I was there before the opening of the hotel, I was not allow to take pictures of the common areas, that are still getting the last touches by the international designers and architects. But trust me, it is looking just FANTASTIC. The OZONE Bar on the rooftop of the ICC Tower (118th. floor) will, with no doubt, become the MUST BE SEEN spot of Hong Kong. The Spa (116th. floor) by ESPA, indoors Infinity Pool and outdoors Yoga balconies will challenge your senses.
Delight the palate at an exquisite array of Hong Kong restaurants located just steps from your door. Featuring six distinctive dining venues starting on the 102nd floor, guests at The Ritz-Carlton can indulge in exceptional fine dining and casual cuisine ranging from traditional Chinese offerings and Italian specialties to a lobby lounge featuring creative cocktails, a soothing tea lounge and a stunning rooftop bar. In addition to exceptional dining and impeccable service, each of these stylish restaurants in Hong Kong offers uninterrupted views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island. OZONE The name says it all. OZONE is proudly positioned on the top floor of the hotel – making it the highest bar in the world. The Chocolate Library Chocoholics will delight in the extensive menu offered: from chocolate savory dishes to chocolate based drinks, and the piece de resistance – chocolate afternoon tea. Tosca Named after one of the best-loved operas of all time, Tosca offers Southern Italian cuisine in a dramatically stylish backdrop. Tin Lung Heen presents refined authentic Cantonese cuisine at its best. The Lounge Bar An ideal all-day dining venue from breakfast onwards, The Lounge & Bar offers a wide tea and coffee selection, including its signature afternoon tea accompanied by live band performance. Pastry Gems A boutique-style pastry shop conveniently located at the arrival lobby.
I would like to thank both Gloria Ip – Sales Manager and Geraldine Lo - Director of Sales, for welcoming me on this private tour and extending their invitation to come back once the hotel is open. I look forward to it. Best of success as I know you will have with this incredible property.
The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is conveniently located on Kowloon Island, right off Kowloon Station, Elements Shopping Center, only minutes away from the Hong Kong International Airport and Central Station in Hong Kong Island.
