The Hong Kong Flagship Hotels Battle

PART 2: INTERCONTINENTAL HONG KONG

 

The Patio Suite is a unique suite encompassing a total area of 130m2. Not many people aware of the existence of this suite because it is not readily available to the public (or online); and only on request basis as it is a one-of-a-kind and there is only one of this suite within the hotel.

 

The living room runs the length of the room and has an adjoining outdoor terrace with the most spectacular harbour view. The decor might need a makeover, but overall the suite has its own charm and is actually quite elegant and very comfortable.
