Innovative Design and Themes for Families
The adventure begins in the 45th-floor lift lobby, now resembling a Hong Kong train station with a moving model train. The corridors, themed with garden or marine motifs, lead to rooms stenciled with local forest and marine animals, guiding young guests to their Peak- or harbour-view retreats.
Inside, the rooms feature ten distinct themes, from a timber treehouse and an airship to a magical carriage, each designed to captivate young imaginations. Toddler-safe beds with slides, interactive toys, and child-friendly furnishings celebrate Hong Kong’s unique culture and landscape. The rooms for parents maintain a sophisticated elegance, with luxurious textures and extra luggage space. Larger interconnected suites accommodate extended families, ideal for private parties or special celebrations, with in-room babysitting services available.
One-bedroom Guestrooms
These guestrooms, inspired by Hong Kong’s natural landscape, come in Fisherman’s Cove or Garden Lodge settings. They combine adult sophistication with child-friendly interactive themes, featuring custom-designed beds with bedside panels that drop to create a darkened sleeping space for children, allowing parents to enjoy their own elegant area.
Fisherman’s Cove rooms highlight Hong Kong’s maritime heritage with deck beds, rope walkways, and nautical decor. Garden Lodge rooms, facing The Peak, include climbing decks, log cabin-inspired beds, and wildlife-themed decor, evoking the great outdoors.
Two-bedroom Family Suites
These suites offer more space for fun and relaxation, featuring king-size beds, separate bathrooms, and extra beds for friends or extended family. Themed rooms for children include interactive elements like slides, personalized nameplates, and treasure troves of toys. Murals and decorations by local artists enhance the rooms with unique cultural touches.
Three-bedroom Family Suites – Coming Soon
Launching in April 2024, these expansive suites are perfect for parties and special celebrations. They include a luxurious room for parents, a children’s room with adventure themes and a slide, and a separate living room with an independent kitchen. Themes like Airship Voyage and Fairy Garden offer immersive experiences, complete with nostalgic items and interactive elements.
Exclusive Family Floor Guest Services: The Hangout and The Pantry
‘The Hangout’ is a lively communal hub with food counters, activity spaces, and a workshop room for children’s activities and board games. The sitting room offers a cozy space for relaxation and family time. ‘The Pantry’ provides essential appliances, allowing families to prepare meals and care for their children comfortably, enhancing the overall stay.
The hotel’s 8th-floor pool deck now features an exclusive WATERPLAY area, designed for children up to six years old. This safe, playful environment includes a toddler paddling pool, splash park, and interactive features, creating a magical experience for children. Luxury cabanas and additional pool amenities ensure convenience and enjoyment for families.
Clifford Weiner concludes, “The launch of the Family Floor at Island Shangri-La reinforces our commitment to leading family travel in Hong Kong. We have crafted a space that balances fun and practicality, offering the ultimate stress-free holiday experience for families. We look forward to creating unforgettable memories for our guests.”
