How to find hotels with helipads?

Question

Is there any website or app where you can find hotels with helipads?

I really want to take a helicopter to a hotel and I think using the internet is the best way to find a hotel with a helipad or some other place you can land.

When Uber launch their heli-taxi service this will be extremely relevant information.

I don't know if there's a comprehensive resource, but it's going to be a pretty limited list, so here's a community wiki for it. For inclusion, the hotel must both have their own helipad (flights nearby don't count) and offer regular, bookable helicopter transfer services (unused/emergency-only helipads don't count):

• The Peninsula, Hong Kong. If the Rolls just isn't enough, private helicopter transfers from Hong Kong airport for you and your 5 best buddies for a mere 26,500 HKD (~3600 USD) one way.

• Shangri-La Jakarta, Indonesia

• ITC Royal Gardenia, Bangalore, India
• Ciragan Kempinski, Istanbul, Turkey
• Le Mirador Kempinski, Vevey, Switzerland

The last four sourced from https://www.businesstraveller.com/news/2012/07/11/five-hotels-with-helipads/ (2012).

No longer on the list:

• The Peninsula, Bangkok. Taking this was on my personal bucket list, but they appear to have stopped their service, which not only was a snip at a mere $1000/one way (in 2005) but let you check in via their dedicated Sky Lounge too, without ever having to descend to the street level where mere mortals dwell. Sigh.
