The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Hong Kong

The Ritz-Carlton Spa is on the 116th floor of the International Commerce Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui. It sits steps away from the Sky 100 Hong Kong Observation Deck and the Elements Shopping Mall.

This spa is the only choice for those who equate relaxation with altitude. While other venues in the city rely on the quiet of a garden or the seclusion of a basement, this space trades on the sheer scale of the building. Being this high above the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui changes the rhythm of a treatment; the hum of the city disappears entirely, leaving a silence that the street-level spas near Kowloon Park cannot replicate. It is the most effective way to disconnect from the ground without leaving the centre of the city.
