Hong Kong gains the world's "highest" hotel

 The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, has opened, dominating the skyline as the world’s “highest” hotel.  Located at the very top of the International Commerce Centre (ICC) in Hong Kong, occupying floors 102 to 118, the hotel is the newest addition to the brand’s growing global portfolio of 75 luxury properties and its 16th hotel in Asia.

On the Kowloon side of Hong Kong, facing Victoria Island, the property replaces the old Ritz-Carlton on Connaught Road.  Guests are welcomed into the arrival lobby on the 9th floor before being transported up to the hotel lobby on the 103rd floor.

The hotel’s 312 guestrooms all offer spectacular city and harbour views.  Starting at 50sq m for a Deluxe Room, and reaching 365sq m for the magnificent Ritz-Carlton Suite, rooms provide state-of-the-art technology including wi-fi, iPod docking stations, blu-ray DVD players and flat screen TVs.  In addition, Club room guests can enjoy the panoramic view from the Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge with complimentary food and beverage presentations 24 hours a day.

The hotel offers six dining venues including Ozone on the 118th floor which also hosts a fully equipped fitness centre and an indoor infinity pool. www.ritzcarlton.com
