Many cities have a location from where you can enjoy the best city views. Be it a skyscraper, like the Taipei 101 or One Altitude in Singapore, a mountain or cable car ride.
Hong Kong has Sky 100 on the 100th floor of the ICC, Hong Kong’s tallest skyscraper, offering 360 degree views of the city.

| Sky 100 is in the ICC, the tall building in the middle of the picture. Next to it is the W Hong Kong hotel, where we were staying at the time. |
The ICC is only a short walk from the W Hong Kong, via the connected Elements Mall.
Unfortunately it was a bit of a foggy day, so not the clearest views. Still enjoyable!
The concept of Sky 100 is pretty much the same as that from many others :
…some education….
…some touristic commerce…
|
| We went on a weekday and as you can see the place was empty. |
…some wining and dining options….
|
| No one here either. The set up is nice though, with the cornered sitting areas and the perspex bar. |
…some cheesy, kitschy photo fun…

But in the end it all comes down to one thing of course: the views.

What’s the best spot in your hometown for city views?
Great photos.
I love the one of you both sliding! ; P
Definately the CN Tower.

We had fun with that one, Suzanne! Though we could have been positioned a bit better. We are a bit ‘of’ the sides of the building. 😉 yes, the CN tower has specatcular views. And I had a bit of vertigo with the glass floor. By chance I spent last night here in Singapore chatting with someone from Toronto, after having email and FaceTime contact with a friend in Sherbrooke and in Martinville. Quite a Canadian day, LOL.
