The Ritz-Carlton sits in the International Commerce Centre, West Kowloon. Its page gives check-in at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00, an indoor pool with a hot tub, a spa, Tin Lung Heen with two MICHELIN stars, Tosca di Angelo with one, and a 2026 Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating; we haven't checked those ratings elsewhere.
It prints parking too: $90 an hour or $800 a day for self-parking, and $800 for valet — with no currency named, so we don't convert it.
Kowloon Station, on the Airport Express and Tung Chung lines, and Austin Station are listed nearby. The ship is a taxi: about 1.4 road miles to Ocean Terminal and 5.5 to Kai Tak by our routing — no transfer to a terminal is printed, and the page lists no airport shuttle.
Book it for the tower — with Kowloon Station listed nearby, and ask what breakfast comes with.

What the Ritz-Carlton prints about itself
What the Ritz-Carlton's own page says it has: a pool, a spa, two restaurants with stars. Gold costs extra, grey goes unsaid.
West Kowloon to the berth
From West Kowloon the ship is a cab whichever terminal you use.
No shuttle; the page lists a luxury car service to the airport, with no price.
Ritz-Carlton’s page prints no transfer to a terminal. Our meter arithmetic gives about HK$35 (about US$4) to Ocean Terminal and about HK$100 (about US$13) to Kai Tak — before bags and tolls.
About 5.5 road mi to Kai Tak by our routing.
From HKG, shuttle or not
The page lists a luxury car service to the airport and no shuttle. The airport is about 19.1 road miles off by our routing — roughly 30 minutes, and Kowloon Station sits in the same tower complex. The airport page has the fares.
Kai Tak's own page lists no bus or minibus from this side of town — so from Ritz-Carlton the ride is a taxi, about HK$100.
