⚠️ sky100 is closed. Its own notice at sky100.com.hk says the deck is undergoing a major renovation and that the reopening timeline will be announced in due course; it gives no date. For a high view of the harbour, go to Sky Terrace 428 on Victoria Peak. Or book a tour: the Peak Tram and Sky Terrace 428 ticket comboad (from HK$80, 4.4 stars from 406 reviews) is the closest replacement, a viewing platform 428 metres up on the Island side.
What the closure means
sky100 is the indoor deck on the 100th floor of the International Commerce Centre (ICC) in West Kowloon. Sun Hung Kai Properties operates it, and it opened on 17 April 2011.
- No tickets: nothing can be bought for a visit until the operator announces a reopening, so avoid any voucher that claims to get you in.
- The rest of the complex: Elements mall sits beneath the tower, which also holds The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong on its upper floors.

Its top floor is numbered 118 because floor numbers with a 4 in the last digit were skipped.
