Frommer's "A popular choice for business travelers, the majority of whom are American... Sterling service... which is probably one reason why repeat guests make up more than 55% of hotel occupancy." Full review
Fodor's "You might feel like a '70s tycoon amid murals, fountains, and crystal chandeliers in the lobby, and the feeling extends to the spacious rooms decorated in warm colors."
Oyster Luxury
"This luxury hotel lives up to the Shangri-La brand's stellar reputation, but there are a few small details that prevent it from being a true five-pearl property." Full review
Michelin Guide "The first thing to strike you will be the size and grandeur of the lobby, with its marble, sparkling chandeliers and tiered water fountain."
Star Service "This hotel boasts a Hong Kong harbor-front location and views similar to those of the InterContinental Hong Kong, but at a lower price." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"It’s all about location, location, location for the Kowloon Shangri-La. The hotel sits smack-dab on top of the East Tsim Sha Tsui subway station and next to Victoria Harbour." Full review
Lonely Planet "The views, the bars and restaurants here, including Tapas Bar, are excellent." Full review
Travel + Leisure "-room hotel on Kowloon's Tsim Sha Tsui East waterfront, with floor-to-ceiling bay windows in every room." Full review
Jetsetter "The Shangri-La Kowloon has a well-balanced blend of old — the glam lobby’s Viennese crystal chandeliers and Italian marble floors, the unstuffy service — and new: The hotel’s 688 spacious rooms are all stylishly teched out." Full review
Gayot "An elegant hotel with a central location overlooking Victoria Harbour."

Frommer's "The best (and most expensive) of three Marco Polo properties lining this street, this hotel is as close as you can get to the Star Ferry and is connected to the largest shopping complex in Asia." 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.
Oyster Kid-Friendly
"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
The Telegraph6.0
"For almost half a century, it's had a stellar view of Hong Kong island. Tourism has boomed but it's still ideally placed for sightseeing and shopping, with good restaurants." Full review
Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
"Location is everything in Hong
Kong, and with its harbor-side perch along Canton Road in bustling Tsim Sha
Tsui, Marco Polo Hongkong puts you right in the heart of the action." Full review
