Hotel ICON

You will never realize this is a university-run hotel but for two things: the friendly rate (much cheaper than other five-stars) and the ever-lasting enthusiastic smiles from their staff. Situated in east part of Tsim Sha Tsui, the affiliation of Hong Kong Polytechnic University is designed by a combined force of Hong Kong's best creative minds. The state-of-art glass-walled lobby houses an impressive 18-meter-tall vertical garden draping from the second floor. All of the 262 rooms present textbook examples of what a modern and sleek hotel should look like. Among them, the Vivienne Tam Suite is a reproduction of the fashion designer's home in New York City. The 28-story building is a five-minute walk to Hung Hom Station, which is the terminal of cross-border trains from mainland China. The hotel runs free shuttle buses to and from Kowloon Station on Hong Kong Airport Express every 20 minutes.
