The stunning Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong has once again been named one of the ‘Top 40 Hotels in China’ by Condé Nast Traveler (USA, 2012 – 2015), and it’s easy to see why. To start, Summer Palace has 2 Michelin Stars and is acclaimed to be the best restaurant Hong Kong has to offer.  Then from the moment you walk through the doors, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back to a time of regal grandeur. Chandeliers with delicate crystal teardrops and white and green marble floors welcome guests to the hotel, around the 140-year-old banyan tree that the property was built around. Oh, and don’t forget the awe-inspiring 16-story silk painting of a Chinese landscape that captivates each guest from almost every floor … aptly named the Great Motherland of China and said to be the largest silk landscape in the world.
