Check Into Fantasy Land For All The Family At Shangri-La Hong Kong

Whimsical wonderlands beckon on the specially curated Family Floor at Shangri-La Hong Kong

A submarine. A fairy garden. An airship. Or even a campervan. These are just a few of the immersive, fully-themed suites that populate the family floor at the Island Shangri-La in Hong Kong. And if you’re picturing cute but cheesy, think again – this offering is perfectly in keeping with the elevated, high-class offering the famous Asian chain are known for. Both you and your mini-mes will be enchanted, not just by the meticulously curated rooms, but by the fact that the whole 45th floor is decked out with every facility picky parents – and their well-travelled kin – might need.

Creative touches

The magic starts from the moment you get a special key giving you access to the restricted floor. Once there, even the hallways are decked out with hidden drawings, ignited when you shine your provided torch. The Hangout is stocked with snacks 24/7 – ideal for Grab & Go midnight feasts – with a sumptuous breakfast and high tea laid out to help yourselves to too.

Where every whim is catered to

Little touches matter at the Shangri-La Hong Kong; nightly bedtime stories in the communal drawing room are accompanied by milk and cookies, ice-cream carts make daily appearances, and arts and crafts – both organised and relaxed – entertain daily in the play room kitted out with toys. There’s even a chic Pantry stocked with washing machines and dryers, plus every type of baby equipment, from strollers to carriers, bottle warmers to swim diapers.

Stellar Service

But what ties it all together is that parents feel as taken care of as their offspring. From sweeping views of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour to the very grown-up rooms in soothing tones attached to the playful suites, and the sun-bedecked swimming pool (with splash pad), every five-star service and creature comfort is ticked. It’s even linked to Pacific Place Mall, perched between Central and Wan Chai. The biggest downside? You’ll want to return pronto to try out all 21 scenarios and settings.
