InterContinental Hotels Hong Kong

The InterContinental is actually built over the Kowloon waterfront.

Once inside, the pervasive sense of water and light gives it the feel of a luxurious liner berthed in one of the world’s greatest ports

The hotel has five superb restaurants

It helps to have a harbour-view room in which you can lie mesmerised, with your curtains open

The windows in the lobby are three storeys high

"Hong Kong is a spectacular, energised (and energising) combination of the urban, the rural and the maritime."

The hotel layout has been specifically designed based on feng-shui principles; at night, with the ceaseless marine activity of the South China Sea just beyond the windows, you can feel magically soothed.
