A LUXURIOUS URBAN OASIS

My stay at Hotel ICON in Kowloon was seriously next-level luxe—think chill vibes with stunning service right in the heart of Hong Kong! Perfectly perched above Hong Kong Polytechnic University, this boutique spot is your go-to hideaway from the city’s nonstop buzz, serving up some of the BEST harbour views anywhere in the city—no joke, the view is 🤯! Walking into my room, I legit gasped at the floor-to-ceiling windows showing off Victoria Harbour in all its glory. The modern, minimalist design totally vibed with my style: smart controls, a spacious work desk for that digital nomad life, and a sleek, techy bathroom that screams 2024 traveler. Major flex: the in-room iPad let me control everything—lights, curtains, even the AC—all from my cozy bed while scrolling through the skyline. Too good! Hotel ICON isn’t about oversized pools or endless restaurants—that’s not its thing, and honestly, the boutique feel is the real win. The rooftop lounge? Such a hidden gem for late-night drinks with those city lights. I also LOVED the complimentary smartphone, super clutch for exploring Hong Kong without losing your way. Let’s talk amenities: - Rooftop pool with a chill vibe and panoramic city views. - Fully equipped gym, plus a sauna and spa to keep your zen on point. - Exclusive Executive Lounge for snacks, drinks, and epic chill sessions. - Breakfast buffet = chef’s kiss! Loads of fresh, international bites every morning—grab the seafood, you’ll thank me later. Location-wise, Hotel ICON (17 Science Museum Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui East) is a win for convenience. You’re minutes from K11 Shopping Mall, the Hong Kong Museum of History, and all major public transport links. While it’s away from the central red MTR line, you’ll get easy access to everything without the crazy crowds. 🏙️ Best part? It’s eco-friendly! Loved their commitment to sustainability in a city that never sleeps. And for value? This place brings premium experience without breaking the bank—especially in Hong Kong, where luxury can get wild pricey. If you want city serenity with top-tier service, insane views, and a modern vibe, Hotel ICON is sooo worth it.

[Hong Kong Hotel] A report on the hotel that lifted my spirits during my trip to Hong Kong✨

Hotel ICON

This time I went to Hong Kong mainly around Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom. The first choice was the Hong Kong Plaza Hotel, because its location is really super convenient! A few steps to Hung Hom MTR station, you can easily find popular attractions such as the University of Technology, Victoria Harbor or the Avenue of Stars. It is super suitable for school or shopping. Best of all, many of the rooms have beautiful sea views, perfect for relaxing during the holidays! Only Harbor Plaza Hotel (17 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui) has always had a reputation for quality, making it quick to go anywhere. Hung Hom Station is within easy reach, making it easy to visit K11, Victoria Dockside, and downtown Tsim Sha Tsui. When checking in, I felt that the service staff was very friendly, not only speaking Mandarin, but also attentive to answering different questions, feeling well taken care of. One of the biggest selling points of the hotel is the buffet breakfast, which is very wide to choose from, especially with authentic Hong Kong cuisine, which makes people happy in the morning. There are also surprises in terms of food and drink, with each room providing a free minibar with quite a full range of drinks and snacks, and night mothers find satisfaction without having to go out to find food. In terms of facilities, the gym and swimming pool are fully equipped, and the environment is very quiet, so you don't have to worry about staying up all night. There are a variety of room types to choose from, the space is large enough, the design is stylish, and the focus is really clean and hygienic enough. However, some customers will feel that there is room for improvement in sound insulation, and it is recommended to bring earplugs for more peace of mind. The hotel is located right next to the Victoria Harbor. There are also many authentic snack shops in the surrounding area, so you can easily feel the Hong Kong characteristics. Especially suitable for those who want to have a short leg, shopping and enjoying the view of Victoria Harbor at any time. Practical tips: 1. If you stay at the Only Harbor Plaza, it is recommended to make an online reservation in advance, which is often full during festivals or exhibition peak seasons; 2. Long stays can proactively ask staff if there is a room upgrade or delayed check-out service; 3. If you are in a hurry to go to the University of Technology or Hung Hom, staying at Hong Kong Plaza is really convenient; 4. Hong Kong's security has improved in recent years, but people in Tsim Sha Tsui and scenic spots should be careful of pickpockets. #HongKongHotelRecommendations #Tsim Sha TsuiAccommodation #HungHamConvenientTransportation #VictoriaHarborSeaviewHotel #HongKongFreeExperience #HongKongFreeTravel #University of TechnologyAccommodation#
