Island Shangri-La Hong Kong

Our party of 9 came for afternoon tea during the holidays and ordered 5 traditional tea sets and 4 apple tea set specials. The traditional ones were $ 488 for 2 and $ 288 for 1, while the apple tea set specials were $ 538 for 2 and $ 318 for 1. To be honest, I would have been very glad to just get the traditional ones, but the apple tea set does contain more savoury options, if you’re not a huge of 3 plates of sweet desserts. The food was absolutely stunning and delicious. Yes, I have a sweet tooth, but the desserts were exquisite — not overly sweet but also so carefully crafted to create the perfect combinations of texture and flavours. The savoury options included small finger sandwiches and foie gras. I despise eating sandwiches and bread, but these finger sandwiches were pretty good — very fluffy bread and a mixture of different fillings — egg salad, smoked salmon, beef.
I chose to get a tea, and the teapot was adorable — there was a little «mitt» for the handle part and a strainer in case any leaves got into your tea. The cutlery and dishes are also so, so beautiful. The atmosphere was wonderful, with a high ceiling and exceptional live music playing the back. Service was perfect — not too overbearing but always there to refill your tea or collect empty plates. Simply a perfect afternoon tea experience and I would love to come back.

Amazing — probably one of the top hotels that I stayed in. My room came with a beautiful view of the city along with the most pleasant staff. Room service along with the hotel restaurants were also wonderful.

Gosh, I miss this place. I stayed here several years ago while on assignment. I was blessed. This place was out of this world. The elegance, the room materials, the bathroom — were all EXQUISITE and EXCEPTIONAL. My assignment allowed me to stay in an Executive Suite, so I don’t know what the regular rooms are like or even if there are regular rooms. If this place is all Executive Suites, get ready for greatness.
I never understood how extremely successful people can always look so well rested and ready to work. It’s because they stay in a hotel of this
I was extremely busy in Hong Kong, but just taking a rest in this room and its bathtub, gave me enough energy to hit the town again at night, fully recharged.
IT WAS AMAZING! I MISS YOU!
AND I LOVED LOVED LOVED HONG KONG!!!

Exquisite and elegant. Love.

Wonderful old traditional hotel. Intuitive service with good restaurants. Great location.

The Shangri-​la experience is just that. The rooms are HUGE, the service impeccable, it is synonymous to the best of Asian hospitality. The bathroom amenities are lovely, the slippers and bathrobe fresh and not threadbare or over washed and coarse.
The separate shower and tub (deep tub) you can soak in. The TV, coffee/​tea amenities. Fresh fruit daily. The ceiling to floor windows. The lounge with outdoor seating upstairs is a great place for meetings. Of course their restaurants are all good except the Japanese restaurant Nadaman (over priced and service is unusually bad for a Shangri-​la). They are well known for Petrus.
The lobby lounge is a great meeting place. Café TOO: redefines buffet. Also, one of the few places with a decent breakfast service at 6AM. The Lobster Bar with out door seating is also a great hang out.
This is also a conference hotel so, careful when you book as it fills up fast during conference season.
The spa, gym,. it’s a Shangri-​la. This is also a go to place for Mainland Chinese so, it caters to their style.
Please don’t confuse the Island Shangri-​la to the Shangri-​la in Kowloon. Different locations.
I was just there for a staycation and boy did I love it.

Easily a 5 star (maybe 6 if I could).
This is hands down the best hotel on Hong Kong Island (maybe even in all of Hong Kong). This is also the flagship hotel for the chain of Shangri-​La Hotels.
Great location (close to Hong Kong Park, Admiralty Station, and not too far from Central).
Great designed rooms and the lobby too.
Overall great service. Love the complimentary fruit basket and chocolates.
However being the best hotel, a room here costs range from $ 5,000 a night to the very top of the range for $ 40,000 a night. Dolla Dolla bills yo’

My favorite 5-​star hotel to stay at in Pacific Place (compared to JW Marriott and the Conrad).
Ranked #10 Hotel (of all in HK) on TripAdvisor.
Love the complimentary welcome tea and fruit :)
