Fodor's "For many guests, a long list of amenities makes up for an isolated-from-action locale: most of the large, comfortable, contemporary rooms have harbor views."
OysterLuxury
"The 554-room Harbour Grand is slightly removed from the main attractions in Kowloon. However, many choose to stay here precisely because it isn't in the center of the hustle and bustle." Full review
Michelin Guide "This shimmering glass structure is right on the waterfront and offers superb views across Victoria Harbour."
Star Service "Although it is not in the thick of the action, this hotel is close enough to reach Hong Kong Island by Star Ferry (a pier is close by) or taxi within 20 minutes." Full review

From here, the views can be endless except on foggy days, and locals often choose to conduct informal business dealings over lunch.

Concierge "The harbor views are, naturally, impressive here—you can even see the Shangri-La's sister hotel across the water in Kowloon."
Fodor's "A city icon towering above Pacific Place drips with old-world charm and offers spacious and luxurious accommodations with an Asian twist, along with fine dining and impeccable service." Full review

Lonely Planet Top Choice

"Arguably the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong, the 565-room Shangri-La features opulent details." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The soaring, 56-story Shangri-La has the city’s highest-altitude lodgings." Full review
Michelin Guide "A vast, intricate Chinese silk painting towers over the glamourous atrium and rises up all of 16 storeys; more sparkle is provided by the dazzling array of chandeliers placed around the hotel."
DK Eyewitness "One of the best hotel in Hong Kong, the Island Shangri-La is efficient, superbly staffed, and with some of the territory's largest rooms."
Star Service "Soaring above Victoria Harbour, this is one of Hong Kong Island's tallest hotels (measured from sea level), and it continues to rank high above the rest in many categories." Full review
Gayot "Amid Hong Kong's crush of skyscrapers, the Island Shangri-La seems almost lost among the lanky buildings shrouded in haze."
