Island Shangri-La is the splurge to look at with a family — since its page lists themed suites. It has 544 rooms and suites, family suites named Fisherman's Cove, Garden Lodge and Safari Adventure, seven restaurants including Restaurant Petrus, which the page calls Michelin-starred, and the YUN WELLNESS Spa.
Admiralty MTR is 0.60 km away, per the hotel. For the ship it's a cross-harbour taxi: about 6.8 road miles to Kai Tak on our routing from an approximate pin — roughly 15 minutes, and 4.6 to Ocean Terminal.
The page prints check-in at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00 and nothing on breakfast, parking or a pool. Book it with children in tow — and ask what the morning taxi and the tunnel toll come to.
Book it if
- You're travelling with children and want a themed suite
- You want seven restaurants in one building
- Admiralty MTR at 0.60 km suits the plan
Look elsewhere if
- You want a pool on the page.
- Kai Tak is your terminal and you want it close.
- You need breakfast or parking confirmed.
