Ritz-Carlton has announced that it will make a ‘magnificent return’ to Hong Kong next year with the opening of the world’s highest hotel in the city.
The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong will occupy floors 102 to 118 of the International Commerce Centre (ICC) in Kowloon.
Due to open in the first quarter of 2011, the property will feature 312 guest rooms offering views across the city and harbour.
All rooms will provide high tech amenities including wireless internet access, flat-screen televisions and iPod docking stations.
Visitors will be able to sample the cuisine on offer at six dining establishments, which will include Chinese and Italian restaurants.
On floor 118 there will be an amazing swimming pool, a unique experience for guests.
Simon Cooper, president and chief operating officer of Ritz-Carlton, said… ‘Hong Kong is one of the world’s great cities and we are delighted to be returning with such an iconic and dynamic hotel.
‘Occupying the top 16 floors of the ICC tower in Hong Kong is a truly unique location for a hotel, offering panoramic views across Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island.
Modern in design, the hotel will be the heart and soul of Hong Kong and will attract visitors from all over the world for its world-class style, design, service and its landmark location.’
The new property will provide direct connections to the airport in 20 minutes and the city centre in five minutes.
