The Ritz-carlton
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, opened in 2011, is a testament to modern luxury, being the highest hotel in the world. Occupying the top 16 floors (102–118) of the International Commerce Centre (ICC), this hotel offers breathtaking panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, Kowloon, and Hong Kong Island. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, the hotel combines sleek modernism with the elegance expected of the Ritz-Carlton brand. With luxurious rooms, Michelin-starred restaurants, and a sky-high spa, it sets a new standard for ultra-luxury accommodations. The Ozone bar on the 118th floor, the highest bar in the world, further accentuates the hotel's dramatic offering. Its significance in hospitality is tied to its location within one of the most vertical and densely populated cities in the world, symbolizing Hong Kong’s status as a global financial hub.
The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, represents how luxury hotels can blend seamlessly with urban skyscrapers, providing guests with an elevated sense of comfort, literally and figuratively. Its commanding presence in the skyline is symbolic of Hong Kong’s sophistication and ability to balance cutting-edge modernity with old-world luxury, offering an exceptional experience to both business travelers and luxury-seeking tourists.
