Hot New Hotels in Hong Kong: Ritz-Carlton, Hullet House, W Hotel
When the new Ritz-Carlton Hotel opens in Hong Kong in 2010, it promises to be a stunner, located on the top floors (102-118) of the International Commerce Centre. This lofty perch, 490 meters high, means that the Ritz-Carlton, Kowloon will be the world’s tallest hotel, affording spectacular views for each and every guest room. The old Ritz-Carlton in Kowloon closed its doors in early January 2008 to make way for this new development. With a whopping six restaurants, an enormous ballroom, and a rooftop bar, the Ritz-Carlton, Kowloon “looks certain to become one of the icons of the global hotel industry when it opens”– to quote Forbes Magazine. What else is new in the city? Hullett House, managed by aqua restaurant group, occupying a white stucco colonial building that was formerly the Marine Police Headquarters on Canton Road. Opened this year, the 13-suite Hullett House is billed as a “design-led heritage hotel.” The other new luxury hotel on the block is the W, boasting an exquisite rooftop pool (pictured) and plenty of W signatures: a chic Living Room, Bliss Spa, and Whatever/Whenever service.
