Taking up a prime spot on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, Kowloon Shangri-La has long been known as one of the grandest five-star hotels in Hong Kong.

Opened in 1981, the hotel is renowned for putting luxury and service at the forefront. If you’re after peace of mind while planning your wedding — and who isn’t? — you’re in very good hands here at this Hong Kong institution.

Full of Pinterest-inspired ideas inside your head — but not sure how to bring them to life? The hotel’s in-house wedding consultants can help you plan your nuptials according to the theme you’re after, whether that be a modern and elegant ’do or a more traditional, formal affair.

Personalised requests of all kinds can be fulfilled, too, and all you need to do is ask. You’ll have the chance to do menu tastings plus select flowers, table linens and the like. A major time-saver that also reduces stress, if you ask us.

From a majestic, pillarless ballroom to more intimate reception spaces, Kowloon Shangri-La boasts venues for every type of wedding.

The hotel website also features a handy function where you can input the number of attendees and the setup you’re looking at for your soiree, so selecting your desired venue need not be a headache.

The hotel offers a variety of wedding packages, with choice and flexibility for couples. So whether you want an intimate gathering with half a dozen tables; a midday sit-down buffet; or an evening spread catering to a sizable guest list, there are multiple selections to pick from, suiting every preference and budget.

Depending on the package of your choice, here are some of the perks you can expect: complimentary one-night accommodation, honeymoon amenities, breakfast via room service, Mercedes Benz chauffeur services, complimentary champagne for toasting, free corkage on self-brought hard liquor, signature wedding gift for guests, and a first anniversary dinner invitation, to name a few.

Whether you’re looking to start your honeymoon right away or simply want to spend the first night as a wedded couple in the lap of luxury (and who wouldn’t?), Kowloon Shangri-La has packages offering just that.

With 688 rooms and suites to choose from, starting at 42 square metres, accommodation here are some of the most spacious in town. You’ll get a sophisticated, comfortable space to relax in, complete with city or harbour views from floor-to-ceiling windows, plus mod cons you’d expect from a hotel of this stature.

Choose from wedding packages including complimentary stays, or offers that mean great savings. Top tip: some packages offer honeymoon stays at selected Shangri-La hotels and resorts.

No Chinese wedding is complete without time-honoured traditions like the tea ceremony between families of the bride and groom, and a few rounds of mahjong among relatives before the reception. You’ll be glad to know that these essential traditions are covered in wedding packages offered by the hotel. In addition, a dedicated bridal room is conveniently located within certain banquet halls.

The hotel’s wedding banquets offer top-notch dining for you and your guests — though that’s not all you can choose from.

Take advantage of your time at Kowloon Shangri-La and book in at its seven restaurants and bar. You’ll probably have heard of Shang Palace, the Michelin-starred restaurant serving up extravagant Cantonese cuisine, with a design inspired by the grandeur of China’s Sung Dynasty.

Then there is Nadaman, which specialises in Japanese kaiseki experiences; and Angelini, which offers authentic Italian fare. For something a bit more casual, choose from the Lobby Lounge, complete with live music and an unbeatable view of the harbour; Tapas Bar, for a glass of wine or two; plus Café Kool and Déli Kool.

Wedding memories are forever — and so naturally, you would want a beautiful background for all those photos you’ll be taking.

Stylish, grand designs take centre stage at the hotel, with unique touches at every turn. Its lobby boasts Italian Statuario marble, a handcrafted golden wood carving made in Beijing, as well as a legendary set of murals depicting the imagined paradise of Shangri-La, created by artist Malcolm Golding.
