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
Insight Guides "The jaw-dropping 17-storey atrium at ‘the Shang’ says it all: this is the Shangri-La group’s flagship property, and comes with all the bells, whistles and first-class service one would expect."

"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

Avoid rooms facing Canton Road, which can be noisy.
Fodor's "Spacious rooms with sweeping views of Hong Kong Island are near the shopping hub along Canton Road and linked to Harbour City's immense shopping complex."
Rough Guide "The Harbour City complex houses threedifferent hotels under the same Marco Polo umbrella. They’re all fairly fancy, and guests can use any hotel’s facilities."
Star Service "This is the best of the three Marco Polo hotels here, with the largest rooms and the only one with views of the harbor." Full review

Luckily, one floor of standard rooms was renovated, making them the choice units to request.
Star Service "The entrance is through a marble foyer, past a bland lounge, to a lobby scaled to a personable size, with two small but comfortable sitting areas. " Full review

Guests have use of the outdoor pool and health club at The Marco Polo Hong Kong, but they may get lost in the Harbour City maze (ten minutes via covered walkway) trying to find them, although access to Harbour City is a plus for those who prefer to avoid minibar charges or wish to shop at all hours.

"Located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, the Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel is a good luxury choice for shopaholics given that it's attached to the Harbour City shopping complex, Hong Kong's largest." Full review

"Location is everything in Hong
Kong, and with its harbor-side perch along Canton Road in bustling Tsim Sha
