World’s highest hotel opens as the Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong

July 5, 2011

The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, opened in April inside the International Commerce Centre, a “vertical city” designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox. The 312-room hotel, which occupies floors 102 through 118, soars 490 m above Victoria Harbor—making it the world’s highest hotel and imbuing it with an unobstructed 360-degree view of the city and surrounding islands. Interiors were designed by Singapore’s LTW, and besides the luxury guest rooms, the hotel offers six dining venues, an 860-sm spa by ESPA, a glass-enclosed infinity pool with LED screen ceiling, and an outdoor terrace with a glass-enclosed bar.
