UNIQUE FEATURES
Unrivaled views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island
The InterContinental Hong Kong is a contemporary 17-story hotel. The focal point of the hotel lobby area is the sweeping 3-story high windows that offer panoramic views of Hong Kong Island and Victoria Harbour.
It’s all about the Feng Shui – A Perfect Balance of Yin & Yang
The InterContinental Hong Kong is designed to maximize the overall Feng Shui of the property thereby yielding good fortune and harmony. Experts have been consulted to make sure that attention has been given to every detail.
The legend of the “Nine Dragons of Kowloon” plays a big role in the layout of the hotels main entrance and lobby. The “Nine Dragons’ have special significance for InterContinental Hong Kong with its dramatic location on the Kowloon waterfront. According to legend, the nine dragons descend from the mountains at dawn to bathe in the harbour and at dusk to drink from the harbour. As dragons can magically pass through glass, the InterContinental Hong Kong’s Lobby provides an alluring pathway. This mythical procession has graced the hotel with exceptional good fortune and “Feng Shui”.
Make sure to ask the concierge or a member of the staff to explain some of the details. Nothing has been left to chance from the design of the lobby area, the details in the spa, to the placement of the furniture in the guest rooms.
