The verdict

Kowloon Shangri-La is the splurge nearest Kai Tak, on the east side of Tsim Sha Tsui. It has 688 guestrooms and suites, Questers Deluxe Family and Harbour Family rooms, seven restaurants, a bar, a lounge and a bakery, and Tsim Sha Tsui East Station 0.12 km away, per the hotel.

Our routing puts Kai Tak about 4.6 road miles away, roughly 11 minutes with no traffic, and Ocean Terminal about 1.3 — no transfer is printed.

Breakfast comes with select room types and memberships, per the page — the standard rate isn't said to include it. The hotel prints a 5 Crescent Rating, a halal-travel rating — which we haven't checked.
