The setting
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong occupies the uppermost floors of the International Commerce Centre at 1 Austin Road West in West Kowloon — Hong Kong's tallest building at 484 metres and 108 storeys, completed in 2010. The supertall tower crowns the Union Square development above Kowloon Station, directly connected to the Airport Express and MTR, placing the hotel at the convergence of finance, infrastructure, and high-end retail via the adjoining Elements mall. The hotel's extraordinary elevation transforms Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong Island skyline into an ever-present panorama, a position that no ground-level address can replicate, making it one of the world's most distinctively situated luxury properties. 2 km from Avenue of Stars waterfront promenade.
