Frommer's Review
The 21-story Kowloon Shangri-La, on the waterfront of Tsim Sha Tsui East, is a popular choice for business travelers, the majority of whom are American. The well-trained staff provides sterling service, which is probably one reason why repeat guests make up more than 40% of hotel occupancy. The two-story lobby is one of the most spacious in Hong Kong, with an expansive white Carrara marble floor, massive Viennese crystal chandeliers, a fountain, and Chinese landscape murals. The hotel, near the hover-ferry pier with service to Central and KCR with service to the New Territories and China, is a 5-minute walk from Tsim Sha Tsui (there's also free shuttle service every 45 min. to the Star Ferry). Wireless Internet access is available in public areas. Rooms, offering either harbor views or rather mundane "garden views" (a popular euphemism for windows that face inland), are large and luxuriously appointed, with ceiling-to-floor bay windows and either a king-size bed or two double beds. If you pay rack rates, additional benefits include free airport transfer, free laundry service and dry cleaning, free American or continental breakfast, free local telephone calls and Internet access, and a late 6pm checkout.
