HBA London has completed the interior design of The Ritz-Carlton Spa by ESPA, located in the International Commerce Centre (ICC) – the tallest building in Hong Kong and the fourth tallest in the world. The Ritz-Carlton occupies the uppermost 15 levels of the 118-floor building, qualifying it as the world’s highest hotel. The design of the spa on the 116th and 118th floors has made the ESPA a focal point of the city’s skyline and a jewelled urban escape atop Hong Kong’s crown of lights.

The Ritz-Carlton Spa by ESPA is more than 300 metres above the streets of Hong Kong. To enhance the sense of being “cocooned amongst the clouds”, the space plan has been designed to have no sharp corners; walls are curved as if providing a protective embrace.

New features include: a floating art installation suspended from the ceiling; walls clad with finely textured horsehair; bronze metal-infused timber floors; ivory stone tiles at the central reception area; and the curved alabaster reception desk.

The treatment rooms are located on the 116th floor and provide floor-to-ceiling fenestration framing views of the cityscape. The spa suites feature a grigio marble-clad jacuzzi bath with scenic views over Hong Kong. Two areas with treatment beds can be joined together or divided into independent spaces.

There are also library shelves displaying select books and objets d’art.
