Island Shangri-La’s Airship Voyage Themed Family Suite is a dramatic, design-driven space that blends Hong Kong’s cultural heritage with cinematic fantasy. The suite forms the centrepiece of the hotel’s ambitious Family Floor, a full-level transformation dedicated to immersive, experience-first family travel.
The Airship Voyage Themed Family Suite
Stepping into the Airship Voyage Suite feels like embarking on an expedition into old Hong Kong. The children’s room has been conceived as the top deck of a vintage airship, complete with a propeller and turbine controls, a steering wheel, pressure gauges and mechanical details that encourage curious hands to experiment. A weather projection transports young travellers through different climates.
Instead of generic themes, the suite draws deeply from Hong Kong’s cultural textures. A treasure chest reveals nostalgic objects that would be familiar to generations of local families—miniature dim sum baskets, a milk-tea set, and an abacus once used in traditional shops. The mural surrounding the space charts the evolution of the city across time, its skyline rendered in architectural silhouettes and cultural scenes. When a UV torch moves across the walls, hidden symbols and figures illuminate like historical whispers, while a pulley system inspired by traditional Chinese medicine dispensaries recalls the city’s mercantile past.

At 149 square metres, the Airship Voyage Suite is unusually expansive for Hong Kong, offering space for families to spread out without losing intimacy. A refined master bedroom connects to the children’s space via a playful interconnecting tunnel—a detail that inevitably becomes the subject of excited storytelling—allowing parents privacy without disconnecting from the adventure. Postcard views over Victoria Harbour ground the fantasy in the familiar, while the dining area, kitchenette and spacious family bathroom with underfloor heating ensure grown-up comfort is never compromised.
The suite includes thoughtful touches that make extended stays feel effortless, from an in-room high-tea service to the support of a dedicated Family Concierge who orchestrates logistics and personalised experiences with ease.
More Than a Suite: A New Family Travel Ecosystem
Beyond the room itself, guests of the Airship Voyage Suite are welcomed into a wider network of family-focused spaces throughout the hotel. The Horizon Club provides breakfast and evening beverages in a relaxed, club-lounge environment, while The Hangout—a communal living, reading and play space—becomes an extension of the suite for families who enjoy unwinding beyond their room. Nearby, The Pantry offers every practical convenience imaginable, from washing machines and bottle sterilisers to strollers and child-friendly kitchen tools, allowing families to travel lightly and spontaneously.
Access is also granted to the AMC Kids Club with a Rolls-Royce transfer once per stay, as well as to the hotel’s outdoor Waterplay deck, a safe and spirited aquatic playground designed specifically for younger children on the eighth-floor terrace.

A New Benchmark for Family Luxury in Asia
The launch of the Airship Voyage Suite signals a bold reimagining of what family luxury can look like in a city where time and space come at a premium. Rather than entertainment as distraction, the suite champions storytelling as connection—a place where children are encouraged to dream and explore, and where parents are invited to pause and enjoy the rare quiet that comes when young minds are fully absorbed.
For families increasingly seeking travel experiences that prioritise meaning and memory over mere amenities, Island Shangri-La’s newest suite offers something distinctive: not simply a stay, but a shared narrative waiting to be written.
