Island Shangri-La

$$$$, Admiralty


Fodor's Review:

This trademark elliptical building has become an icon of Hong Kong, as has The Great Motherland of China, the world's largest Chinese landscape painting, housed in a 16-story glass-top atrium with elevators soaring up and down. The lobby of the deluxe hotel, affectionately known to locals as the "Island Shang," sparkles with more than 780 dazzling Austrian crystal chandeliers hanging from high ceilings and huge, sunlighted windows. Take the elevator up from the 39th floor and see the mainland's misty mountains drift by. Rooms are some of the largest on Hong Kong Island and have magnificent views; all have large desks and all-in-one bedside control panels. For very upscale dining there's the scenic, formal French eatery Pétrus on the top floor, or for Chinese food, the classy Summer Palace.
