InterContinental Hong Kong Hotel // Hong Kong InterContinental Hong Kong Hotel The Intercontinental Hotel with its unique Kowloon waterfront location offers spectacular views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island and was named hotel with "the best view of the world" in 2004 by the American magazine Virtuoso LuxeReport. Ideally situated in the heart of the business, entertainment and shopping area of Kowloon, or nine dragons, the hotel is an excellent meeting place. Built in a contemporary style, using granite and marble, the 17- storey hotel is an example of a successful mix between the latest technologies and Chinese traditions. This is also why, in 1980, before starting a renovation and expansion project, the hotel owners decided to consult a master of feng shui. This was to ensure that the changes made to the hotel were with respect for feng shui traditions in order to guarantee a quality stay. Indeed, according to a Chinese legend, the hotel was built on the path that led the dragons to their morning bath in Victoria bay. The feng shui master advised the building of a glass hallway so the dragons could pass through ... The fountain at the entrance is in the shape of a pearl, symbol of wealth and known to charm the dragons. Every year, the hotel ranks among the top hotels in the world and receives many internationals awards for its quality and service (Gold List 2006 of Condé Nast USA), which proves very good feng shui !
