Hotel ICON

Hotel ICON is in Tsim Sha Tsui East, a modern waterfront district of Kowloon with promenades, museums and plenty of dining nearby. It is a little removed from the busiest shopping streets but well connected. It suits design lovers, couples and travellers wanting a stylish five-star base at a more approachable price.

Run in connection with a design school, the hotel has a creative, contemporary identity, with distinctive interiors and artworks. A rooftop pool offers wide views over the harbour and skyline, and rooms are modern and comfortable. The atmosphere is fresh, stylish and energetic, appealing to guests who prefer personality to formal tradition.

The subway, buses and taxis connect the area to the rest of the city, and the waterfront promenade is a pleasant walk. Check which direction your room faces, since views differ across categories. Rooftop pool access can depend on weather and hours. Book early for busy periods, as the combination of design and value is popular.
