As one of the hottest new hotel openings in Hong Kong in 2011, the Hotel ICON is the latest offering from acclaimed British designer Terence Conran, Rocco Yim and William Lim. Located in the up-and-coming eastern Kowloon district, the Hotel ICON’s soaring hotel lobby is a sight to be seen with a striking vertical garden by Patrick Blanc, a grand sweeping staircase, and modern architectural sculptures which combine to create a dramatic first impression. The 262 rooms boast stylish contemporary furnishings, spacious king-sized beds, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking either the Hong Kong harbour or Kowloon. The walk-in rain showers and the deep soaking bathtubs are an added luxurious touch. Enjoy a refreshing swim in the open air rooftop swimming pool, enjoy a drink at the Pool Bar, or relax at the Angsana Spa by Banyan Tree. Guests staying in the top floor Club rooms will also benefit from complimentary dining, access to the panoramic rooftop bar, and exclusive concierge services. While located just outside of the heart of Kowloon’s city center, the ICON Hotel is nonetheless strategically placed near Hong Kong’s major Hung Hom railway station, and is only a short walk or taxi ride away from many of Kowloon’s best attractions.
