InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong, hotel in Hong Kong
The InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong is a hotel on the Tsim Sha Tsui East waterfront, in the Yau Tsim Mong District, facing Victoria Harbour. The building rises several floors above street level and offers rooms on both the harbour-facing and city-facing sides of the property.
The hotel opened in the 1980s, when Tsim Sha Tsui East was being developed as a new business and hotel district on reclaimed land along the Kowloon waterfront. It was among the first large hotels to open in that part of the district and has gone through several rounds of renovation since then.
The hotel sits along the Tsim Sha Tsui East waterfront, where the promenade draws locals and visitors at all hours of the day. Looking across the water from this stretch gives a clear view of the Hong Kong Island skyline, which is what many people come here to see.
The hotel is within walking distance of Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station and close to the Star Ferry pier, which connects to Hong Kong Island by water. Guests who want to explore the waterfront promenade can do so directly from the hotel entrance without needing transport.
The hotel's name includes "Stanford," a reference to an earlier identity the property held before it became part of the InterContinental group. Many guests are unaware that the entire Tsim Sha Tsui East district, including the ground beneath the building, is built on reclaimed land that did not exist before the mid-20th century.
