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."

Fodor's "A hip, young vibe prevails, but guest rooms are veritable urban oases—soundproof and spacious, alternately colorful or sleek on even and odd floors." Full review
Jetsetter "Typically funky W on West Kowloon's waterfront — except this one has a 76th-floor infinity pool." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice

OysterLuxury
"This W feels a bit more special, and luxurious, than some you might find in the U.S." Full review
Travel + Leisure "W Hotels’ first Chinese outpost is in Hong Kong’s booming West Kowloon district, and many of its 393 rooms have enviable views of the skyline." Full review
Star Service "Although the hotel is not in the center of the touristic heart of town, it is convenient for business travelers or those who prefer this chain's distinctive confines. " Full review
Gayot "With its modern design, splashes of neon color, and a DJ in the lobby this hotel seems to have the contemporary feel of a night club."
BlackBook "Definitely too funky for your aunt, but a blast for a particular type of homo sapiens who came of age in a particular design-conscious era."
