The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong

International Commerce Centre (ICC), 1 Austin Rd, West Kowloon, Hong Kong (show on map)

The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, is an architectural marvel occupying the 102nd to 118th floors of the iconic International Commerce Centre (ICC) in West Kowloon. Often cited as one of the world’s highest hotels, it offers guests an unmatched perspective of the city from high above the clouds. The tower itself was designed by the American architectural firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates.

The hotel is famous for its sky-high amenities, including the world’s highest swimming pool and the Ozone rooftop bar, both located on the 118th floor. The interior design strikes a balance between contemporary luxury and traditional Chinese motifs, featuring marble accents, crystal chandeliers, and lush cartographic carpets that reflect the city’s East-meets-West heritage.

Reaching the lobby is an experience in itself; a high-speed elevator whisks guests from the ground floor to the 103rd-floor reception in about 80 seconds. Once there, floor-to-ceiling windows provide sweeping, panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the glittering Hong Kong skyline that are virtually impossible to replicate anywhere else in the city.

The hotel’s location is highly convenient for those wanting to explore. It sits directly above the upscale Elements shopping mall and is well-connected to the MTR network, making it simple to reach the West Kowloon Cultural District. Nearby cultural gems like the M+ museum and the Hong Kong Palace Museum are just a short distance away, perfect for art and history lovers.

Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“From the world’s highest hotel, perching on the 102nd through the 118th floors of the ICC skyscraper in West Kowloon, every large and luxurious guest room enjoys a stupendous vantage point.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Hong Kong.

Frommers review:

“It takes 52 seconds to reach the understated black-marbled reception on the 103rd floor, from which a lighted escalator beckons to restaurants one floor down, all with stunning views and eye-catching East-meets-West decor.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Hong Kong.

Forbes review:

“Touting itself as the world’s tallest hotel, The Ritz-Carlton’s newest luxury oasis in the sky occupies the 102nd to 118th floor of Hong Kong’s iconic International Commerce Centre. The views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island can be enjoyed from every room.”

Telegraph review:

“One of the world’s highest hotels, sitting at an elevation of 1,600 ft. The Ritz-Carlton is more than just a bed for the night, it is a chance to seriously show off. The views of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and Victoria Harbour are superlative, with the hotel’s standards of luxury an equal match.”

Luxurious stay with incredible service

Everything about the hotel was amazing. So luxurious and the service was second to none. The breakfast buffet was incredible and we loved long slow mornings sipping coffee and watching the action below from the 102 floor.

Nothing at all!

Except for instances of queuing for breakfast, my stay was fantastic and memorable.

Cleanliness and staff hospitality.

Queuing waiting to be allocated a table for breakfast. Sometimes I was allocated a table far away from where the buffet was arranged.

We had a short but memorable stay at this beautiful hotel and found the staff to be top notch in every way.

Stunning property with beautiful views and exceptional staff

Only thing we didn’t like was the fragrance that permeated the building — but we’re not fans of room fragrance in any form

Exclusive hotel and excellent service

The hotel is truly unique. First of all, it is only possible to stay on the 110th floor in this hotel. The views from the room are magnificent. The breakfasts are excellent. I would especially like to note the service. All hotel employees fulfill your request quickly and with great pleasure. The cleanliness is perfect. The cleaning was beyond praise. Every day we were given some small compliments. The restaurants are certainly expensive, but there is an affordable buffet. The bed, mattress and bed linen are very comfortable. Wi-fi worked at high speed throughout the entire hotel.

During our stay the swimming pool was not working and we were offered a swimming pool in the neighboring building. But this little thing did not spoil the impression of the hotel.

Good quality hotel with stunning views.

Location was great. Right above the Metro and shopping centre.

Large rooms for Hong Kong

On floor 112, so great views.

With the hotel reception on floor 103 and the hotel rooms above that, it took sometime to get to your room, including the change of lifts.

Cherry Yeung ☺️Thank you for your friendly service

I was extremely satisfied with the overall service at the hotel. From the moment I arrived, all the staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Cherry Yeung at the front desk and the spa staff. Thanks to their professionalism and care, I was able to create wonderful memories during my business trip to Hong Kong. Once again, thank you for making my stay so enjoyable.

A luxurious stay with stunning views and excellent dining, though some areas could use improvement.

Beautiful view of the city, lovely rooms, delicious breakfast, and a high level of service and comfort. The Michelin-star restaurants were amazing. The view from the bar or during breakfast is simply breathtaking. Overall, a very successful visit, with a well-designed spa and gym area.

The spa is relatively expensive for the service provided, and the hotel lacks a proper lobby where you can sit and relax. You have to wait in the bar or on the ground floor, which doesn’t give the same feeling of being inside the hotel. Additionally, I feel that the room finishes could be improved, considering the price level.
