Inarguably one of the city’s most iconic hotels, Island Shangri-La’s pride of place in Admiralty has made it an easy choice for travellers looking to be near Hong Kong’s legendary energy with just enough greenery to make it a peaceful escape.
In 2024, the hotel revealed the recent refurbishment of half its rooms including 21 new family suites on their very own floor. The renovations transformed the 45th floor into a haven for families, with a dedicated club serving mini-meals, snacks and drinks as well as offering a plethora of necessities families might need, from high chairs and car seats to baby wipes. The suites are designed as mini playgrounds for children; they may never want to leave, especially when “ice cream hour” happens daily at 4pm. Bunk beds are not simply sleep areas but are transformed into the iconic Hong Kong tram or incorporate a safari scene.
Part of the refurbishment also includes seamless technology, from charging stations and wireless charging pads to pantry taps that dispense hot or cold water. The updated room designs are modern and nature-inspired in light hues of cream and pastel green.
Guests should also check out Yun Wellness, the hotel’s new urban retreat where daily wellness classes are complemented with treatments that blend traditional and modern therapies. Visiting practitioners ensure guests can experience more unique and targeted treatments from fascia massage and Traditional Chinese Medicine to energy readings.
