Checking In: Hotel ICON Hong Kong in Tsim Sha Tsui
Hong Kong is often referred to as Asia’s World City and with good reason. You’ll find here something for everyone; great food, a vibrant culture, bustling city vibes, fabulous hikes, and Disneyland! Every area of the city has its own distinct features, which is why it’s not so easy to find the right hotel in Hong Kong. However, I’ve found the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for modern luxury: Hotel ICON in the Tsim Sha Tsui district.

About Hotel ICON Hong Kong
Hotel ICON is a relatively new hotel in Hong Kong and has caught the attention of many travelers since it opened its doors. The hotel puts great emphasis on showcasing Hong Kong’s cultural spirit through its interior design as well as the food and drinks offered at its three award-winning restaurants
In the ICON universe, students, teachers, and seasoned hospitality professionals come together with one aim: to make your stay utterly memorable and pleasurable. Stay with us if you are design conscious, like to eat and drink well, enjoy a beautiful view and want to be spoiled! – Hotel ICON
Location in the heart of Hong Kong
Hotel ICON is located in Kowloon’s Tsim Sha Tsui area, the bustling heart of Hong Kong. I loved staying at this central location because it’s so close to major attractions and ideal for experiencing the vibrancy of Hong Kong.
The hotel shuttle bus allows you to easily get to the nearest points of interest, such as the world-famous Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade to see the iconic Hong Kong Harbour. However, Hotel ICON also encourages guests to explore beyond the tourist spots and recommends a lot of hidden gems in their own Hotel ICON Guide.
