Hotel ICON

Hotels go all out with eye-catching, slick interiors, but Hong Kong’s much-talked about Hotel Icon attempted to outdo the rest by enlisting a group of design icons (hence the name) to decorate its stylish spaces. Experts such as Sir Terence Conran (interior designer), Rocco Yim (architect), Barney Cheng (uniform designer) and more pitched in to give the hotel its high style. For some of the best work, check into fashion superstar Vivienne Tam’s 27th-floor Designer Suite, where details like an Opera Girl portrait made of Swarovski crystals, a ceiling that mimics a Chinese screen and a porcelain plaque plucked from Tam’s own New York apartment are only rivaled by the fantastic views of the famous Victoria Harbour. The hotel’s 262 rooms, including 26 luxury suites, feature impeccable views of the harbor, a chic and modern interior that includes a Finnish Karuselli chair in buttery gray leather upholstery and advanced technology, such as the hotel's own smartphone app and complimentary Wi-Fi.
