InterContinental Hong Kong ReviewWhereas the Peninsula, across the street, is the grand old dame of Hong Kong's hotels, the InterContinental is like its youthful, stylish cousin. Built right on the water's edge, it boasts the best views of Victoria Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui, making its lobby lounge with soaring windows one of Hong Kong's best for afternoon tea or evening cocktails. Great views are also trademarks of its guest rooms, 70% of which command sweeping vistas of the harbor (the remaining -- and less expensive but larger -- rooms face the outdoor swimming pool and landscaped sun terrace). Other notable features here are the highly rated restaurants; upscale shopping arcade; state-of-the-art spa with outdoor cabanas and healing treatments (like the popular Jetlag Relief); free tai chi and yoga classes; contemporary rooms with huge walk-in closets adjoining bathrooms (you can shower and get dressed without disturbing another guest in the room); and Wi-Fi that enables guests to access the Internet even from poolside. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

| 0 stars | Frommer's Recommended | |
| 1 stars | Frommer's Highly Recommended | |
| 2 stars | Frommer's Very Highly Recommended | |
| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
