History
Opened in 1991 as part of the Pacific Place complex in Admiralty, the Island Shangri-La was developed by Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts in the heart of Hong Kong's business district. It features sister property to Kowloon Shangri-La and has undergone recent modernizations including redesigned guestrooms by Tristan Auer and the YUN WELLNESS spa by Lázaro Rosa Violán. The hotel received the 1997 Hong Kong Management Association Quality Award as the first independent hotel recipient.
The setting
Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong rises from the upper reaches of Pacific Place on Supreme Court Road in Admiralty, its 56-story tower commanding sweeping views of Victoria Harbour, Victoria Peak, and the Kowloon skyline. Pacific Place, developed by Swire Properties on a former military barracks site since 1988, became the definitive address for luxury hospitality on Hong Kong Island — home to four five-star hotels and directly connected to Admiralty MTR, now the city's principal rail interchange. Hong Kong Park, a seven-minute walk, offers a lush escape steps from the financial core, while the Peak Tram lower terminus is ten minutes on foot.
