The latest travel trends

Technology

Let’s start with technology! These days we know that people want technology to eradicate problems, deliver answers to specific needs in the moment and enhance experiences with recommendations and shortcuts they haven’t thought of. Well, at ICON, we still have our wonderful concierge team of course, but each of our guest rooms comes with a complimentary smartphone with mobile internet, unlimited calls to twenty five countries, useful travel apps and a comprehensive Hong Kong City Guide to ensure our guests needs are catered for as easily as possible.

Business and Pleasure

Welcome to ‘bleisure!’ The lines are blurring all of the time between leisure and business travel, and in the value attached to workplace travel opportunities. Research shows that  many business travelers will extend their business trips to further enjoy the destination and why not? No longer seen as lost time or a career inconvenience, business travel is increasingly appreciated as an opportunity to expand horizons, find inspiration and progress in a career. Anyway, if you are coming to ICON for business, you will find everything you need on our Club Floor at the stylish Above and Beyond. You’ll be exclusively checked in, have several meeting rooms (with the best views in Hong Kong) to choose form, four work stations, WiFi, complimentary local calls and personalised business and concierge services. You may not want to check out!
 

Mind, Body & Soul

Many of us going on holiday see it as a moment to reflect and make better lifestyle choices. The coming year will see many travellers prioritising health conscious trips that promise harmony for the mind, body and soul – particularly those from India, China and Thailand. Step onto the 9th floor at Hotel ICON and you will find a pool with a view, a state-of-the-art double height gym, a bar and the highly regarded Angsana Spa by Banyan Tree all there to ensure our guest can choose to work out or simply wind down!

Go Green

Trends show that travellers want to both see and be, more responsibility when it comes to the environment and sustainability. At Hotel ICON we care so we offer a fully electric transport fleet, consisting of Hong Kong’s first electric hotel shuttle bus, two Tesla Model S and a BMW i3. The 100%-electric, silent, smooth and emission-free vehicles deliver exhilarating yet eco-friendly rides and add to the hotel’s relentless pursuit of sustainable operations.
