Top of the line but you pay for it

This hotel takes up the 38th to 56th floors of a tower on the top end of a shopping center that has 3 towers in it. All different hotels. The shopping center has lots of high end stores and even a McDonalds and Starbucks for the normal crew. You can walk from the hotel down through the shopping center to the main street with the old fashion double deck trolly going from one end of HK to the other. It's a neat ride for 2 HK dollars (25 cents US).

Totally Spoilt

I can not speak more highly of the Island Shangri-La ... it is the BEST hotel I have ever stayed and throughtly deserves it's 6 star rating.

Highly recommended

Just returned from HK (Easter 2005) and a 8 night stay at the Island Shangri-La. One word - AMAZING

Christmas at the Shangri-La

My wife and I stayed at the Shangri-la Christmas 2004 and enjoyed one of the best holidays ever spent away from home at this time of year.

Truly exceptional

I stayed at this hotel last year and it blew my mind! I can only say this hotel deserves more than 'excellent' . I have stayed at luxury hotels all over the world but never stayed anywhere that comes near the Island Shangri-la. My room was absolutely stunning. Everything was the finest quality from the silk drapes, magnificent furniture, breathtaking views (I was on the 49th floor), every conceivable extra of the very highest quality, total technological integration, outstanding service.

Mind-Blowing

I have never stayed at a hotel of this magnitude! Awesome! The breakfast buffet with the large shrimp, and everything you could name was awesome!

The room had sensored lighting. They also had two toilets, one that washed your "you know what." (I forgot what you call those things.)

They had tea and an fruit basket for me in the room.

I went with my church group. Though I would love to go again, an opportunity that grand will probably never happen again.

If not the best, definitely one of the best worldwide

This hotel may well deserve 6 or 7 stars, if they existed. Perfect in every aspect. Add to this, one of the most spacious and comfortable rooms I ever have stayed and a fantastic view from virtually every room, either on the bay or on Victoria Peak. The thirty-store painting in the inner court is one of the most incredible things I have ever seen. To try at least once in your life.

Maybe the Best Hotel in World

(Stayed third week of Sept 2003 - dlx Harbour View room)

Perfect Place on HK Island

We stayed in the Island Shangri-La in May and it was truly our best hotel experience ever. Extreemly large rooms with the finest furnishing and beautiful bathrooms. The best is the stunning atrium with the huge mural. Definately the best hotel in Hong Kong, not so busy and loud as the Peninsula (construction area around) and within easy reach of everything

Best hotel in Hong Kong 2004

Stayed here January 2004. The hotel kindly upgraded me to the newly renovated harbour view rooms which was very luxurious. A beautiful marbled bathroom with Plasma-TV in the wall and separate shower. Room had comfortable sitting area and stunning views. Health Club and pool facilities are top not to forget the famous Petrus restaurant on level 56 !!

Staff is extremely helpful and the doorman has always a smile for you
