Hotel ICON (Chinese: 唯港薈) is the teaching and research hotel built for the School of Hotel and Tourism Management by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. It is fully owned by the university.

Located at 17 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon, Hong Kong, the hotel was built on the site of what was formerly PolyU's staff quarters, Pak Sui Yuen (百粹苑).[1] The new complex retains the original function of staff quarters, and adds new functions such as hotel rooms, a teaching complex and function rooms.[2] The building's topping-up ceremony was held on 11 March 2010, and the hotel was officially opened on 21 September 2011.
