It's all about location, location, location for the Kowloon Shangri-La. The hotel sits smack-dab on top of the East Tsim Sha Tsui subway station...
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Perched directly above East Tsim Sha Tsui station, the waterfront promenade outside runs past the Avenue of Stars toward the Star Ferry.
The rooms
Motorized curtains glide open upon keycard entry, revealing harbour views through full-height bay windows beside Italian marble bathrooms.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Marble walls and a coffered ceiling surround the heated indoor lap pool and its adjacent whirlpool.
Spa and gym
Treatment suites host traditional foot reflexology and massages beside herbal steam rooms, saunas, and a 24-hour gym.
Restaurant
Shang Palace
Michelin-starred Cantonese dining unfolds beneath Sung Dynasty-inspired red lanterns, backed by a resident tea master and extensive cellar.

How it began
Designed by Wong and Ouyang in 1981, this waterfront tower established the Shangri-La brand's very first address in Hong Kong.
