sky100 is an indoor observation deck on the 100th floor of the International Commerce Centre (ICC), Hong Kong's tallest building at roughly 484 m, with the viewing floor sitting 393 m above sea level. Since opening in 2011 it has been the definitive Kowloon-side vantage point over Victoria Harbour. However, it closed to the public on 17 May 2025 for a major renovation; the operator targeted a reopening in the first half of 2026, but as of July 2026 the official website still carries only a renovation notice stating that updates will be announced in due course, with no reopening date, opening hours or ticket prices published. Treat sky100 as a destination to verify before you travel rather than one to book, and keep an alternative viewpoint in your itinerary.
The 360-degree sweep from 393 m: the Hong Kong Island skyline to the south and the Kowloon peninsula stretching north toward the New Territories in a single panorama.
The counterpoint to Victoria Peak. The Peak looks across the harbour from the island side; sky100 faces back from Kowloon, so visiting both gives you each bank of the harbour.
The dusk-to-night transition. The deck sits above the harbour's nightly light and sound show, so the standard approach was to enter before sunset and stay through the change of light.
Its indoor design. Less exposed to wind and rain than open-air decks, but glass reflections, humidity and haze can flatten visibility badly, so a clear afternoon matters more than the hour you pick.
The West Kowloon Cultural District laid out below, including M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum, read together with the ICC and Elements complex as a piece of city-building.
Whatever the renovation delivers. The operator has promised a refreshed design and new features but has not detailed them, so check the official announcement rather than older reviews.
Good to know
RulesClosed status is the headline fact. sky100 has been shut since 17 May 2025 for renovation, and as of July 2026 the official site publishes no reopening date, hours or prices. The originally announced first-half-2026 target has already passed. Confirm directly via sky100.com.hk or +852 2613 3888 before building it into a plan.
CautionBeware third-party ticket resellers. Several booking platforms and unofficial 'updated 2026' ticket sites still list admission products and pre-closure opening hours for an attraction that is not operating. Do not prepay outside official channels, and check refund and cancellation terms first if you book anything.
SeasonJuly to September is peak typhoon season (the season runs May to November). When Signal No. 8 is hoisted, attractions, shops and most public transport shut down, so check Hong Kong Observatory warnings daily. Summer heat and humidity also produce haze and condensation on glass that can ruin a high-level view; indoor air conditioning is aggressive, so bring a light layer.
RulesHong Kong is a separate jurisdiction from mainland China. Google, messaging apps and Instagram work without a VPN, and Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, so Alipay and WeChat Pay are not required. If you cross into Shenzhen or elsewhere on the mainland, an entirely different set of rules applies: a separate visa, mainland payment apps, a VPN, and passport registration at accommodation.
RulesOctopus remains the default for transport and small payments. Besides the physical card, the Octopus for Tourists app lets you top up with overseas-issued Visa, Mastercard or UnionPay. Contactless bank cards also work directly at MTR gates, on buses, trams and ferries, but minibuses and small shops frequently take only Octopus or cash, so carry some notes.
SafetyUntil it reopens, access to the 100th-floor deck itself is blocked, while the Elements mall and hotel floors in the lower ICC operate normally, which makes a wasted trip to the building easy. Follow site signage and restricted-area markings, and have a fallback such as Victoria Peak via the Peak Tram or the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront promenade.
MannersIn an indoor deck, switch your flash off when shooting through glass; it ruins the photo through reflection and disturbs other visitors. Tripods and selfie sticks may be restricted. Smoking is banned in indoor public places in Hong Kong and carries a fixed penalty.
Practical info
ICC stands at 1 Austin Road West, West Kowloon, directly above the Elements mall and connected to MTR Kowloon Station (Tung Chung Line and Airport Express), with Austin Station on the Tuen Ma Line a short walk away. The sky100 deck has been closed for renovation since 17 May 2025 and no official reopening date, opening hours or admission price had been published as of July 2026, so check the official website for the latest information before visiting.
