Looking for a Hong Kong hotel? Book the Shangri La Kowloon!

A few friends are planning trips to Asia so I’ve been trying to catch up on writing reviews of places I’ve stayed and roundups of things to do. I have only stayed at a handful of hotels in Hong Kong but my favourite so far is the Shangri La Kowloon.

After spending a few days in Hong Kong, then a quick weekend in Phuket, I returned to Hong Kong for two nights en route back to Los Angeles. From check in to check out, everything at the Shangri La Kowloon was perfect….except for me. At the end of my trip to Phuket, I caught a stomach bug. Lucky for me I was able to recuperate in my luxurious digs.

My suite at the Shangri La Kowloon faced the gorgeous Hong Kong Harbour. From the comfort of my room and in a robe, I was able to watch the nightly Symphony of Lights. It was epic! Every detail in my room was well-appointed. From the spacious size, a welcome tea with fresh fruit and dessert, complimentary use of plug converters, a desk area to work, and more. My hotel suite was the perfect ending to my quick trip to Asia.

The Shangri La Kowloon is perfectly situated in Kowloon. It’s walking distance to the harbour and sites like the Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong Museum of Art, the East TST MTR station, shopping, and dining. If you need to head to the other side of Hong Kong, you can be there in minutes by MTR or even taxi.

Here are some photos of my suite:

To add to my luxury experience, I had lunch at Shang Palace, a two-star Michelin restaurant inside the hotel. The restaurant serves refined Cantonese fare. The dining room is beautiful and my experience was elegant and exquisite from start to finish. Chef Mok Kit Keung leads the culinary team with a wealth of experience and accolades. Do make sure to try his own xo sauce. It’s amazing!

From the moment I checked in, till the moment I checked out of the Shangri-La Kowloon, it was an impeccable stay. The staff was all so lovely and each detail has been well thought out. I know there are so many hotels to choose from in Hong Kong but the Shangri-La Kowloon will not disappoint you.

**Disclosure: Many thanks to the Shangri-La Kowloon for the complimentary stay and meal. As always opinions expressed are my own.

If you want to stay connected to wifi while you are in Hong Kong, considering renting a Y5 Buddy wifi hot spot. I was given a complimentary trial while I was in Hong Kong and I was able to connect several devices at one time. They let me test it but for $5/day, it’s worth it if you are travelling with friends, business colleagues, or a partner. You can also check out their rates for other countries in Asia.
