The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong

The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong opened in March 2011 on floors 102 to 118 of the International Commerce Centre, the tallest tower in Hong Kong, above Kowloon Station in West Kowloon. It has 312 rooms, all with views of the city and the harbour, and when it opened it was the highest hotel in the world.

The lobby is more than a hundred floors up.

The tower was developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties, with the Elements mall in its podium and the Sky100 observation deck on the 100th floor, just below the hotel. The interiors are by LTW of Singapore, and the restaurants were designed by several firms, among them Spin Design Studio and Wonderwall from Japan. The rooms start at 50 square metres and run to the 365-square-metre Ritz-Carlton Suite.
