This was on the southwest corner of the Chatham Road / Mody Road junction. It's the building at the end of the road on the right in the photo below.

This was a hotel in the Wang Hing Building in the 1960s. 

Fodor's Guide for 1965 damned it with faint praise:

VICTORIA HOTEL, 10 Queen's Road Central, is a place to stay when no other hotel has a room.

This building stood on the south side of Des Voeux Road Central, from Li Yuen Street West across to Pottinger Street. I'm not sure how far south towards Queen's Road the building extended. [Update: It extended the full length of the block, see: https://gwulo.com/comment/55565#comment-55565]

It is situated along Canton Road, south of the Tsim Sha Tsui Fire Station. The complex is managed by Sino Group.  It was completed and opened in 1988.

According to its Chinese version webpage, it is the largest building in the world with golden coloured screenwall.

Public Works Report 1919:

A large building, situated on M.L. 183, at the junction of Des Voeux Road West and Hill Road, known as the Kam Ling Hotel, was completed.

The four star hotel is located at 50 Nathan Road. Opened in 1974. Today named "Holiday Inn Golden Mile".

In the 1980's, a shopping centre operated in the basement of the hotel, now gone.

I've guessed the dates based on this Google Search, which has the earliest result from 1948 and the latest result from 1987: https://www.google.com/search?q=THE+RITZ+HOTEL+122+Austin+Ave&tbm=bks&s…
