International Finance Center complex (i.e. ifc ) is built upon the major highway of Central District. The complex is made up of three skyscrapers, the ifc One , the ifc Two, and the Four Seasons Hotel. While they share the same ifc Mall, it is also the terminal of the Airport Express. It bridges towards the Intra-city Ferry Terminal, Soho District and entrance of the Peak Tram. It also bridges towards the terminal of the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry and major office buildings, such as the Jardine House and the Exchange Square.
The Four Seasons Hotel is a top luxury hotel that was built near the IFC One and Two. It was completed and opened in October 2005. The 206 m (674 ft), 60-storey oceanfront hotel is the only Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong. The hotel has 399 guest suites, and 519 serviced apartments. Amenities include a French restaurant Caprice and spa.
It is an 800,000 sq ft, 4-storey shopping mall, with many luxury retail brands and wide variety of restaurants. The first official Apple Store was also located in this mall (a 3-storey flagship store in Hong Kong).
One International Finance Centre was constructed in 1998 and opened in 1999. It is 688 feet (210 m) tall, has 39 storeys and four trading floors, 18 high speed passenger lifts in 4 zones, and comprises 784,000 square feet (72,800 m2).
