Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong
Famous for its pool, restaurants, Roman baths, luxurious lobby, and shopping arcade, the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong is the luxe chain’s flagship hotel. The spacious rooms and suites offer magnificent views of Victoria Harbor and the city skyline, and a Shanghainese-inspired holistic oriental spa and state-of-the-art fitness facilities and a pool are available. Restaurants and bars are popular with locals, two have Michelin stars (Pierre and Mandarin Grill + Bar)--this is the only hotel in the world with that honor--and all are distinct in character. Dim sum and high tea are a must. Indeed, it has been called the “best hotel in the world.”
This month (May 23-26), it is the “Official Hotel” for Art Basel’s inaugural show in Hong Kong. The hotel is offering guests many special art treats, including an art-inspired menu in the Michelin-starred Mandarin Grill + Bar to art-inspired chocolates and cocktails.
Though I have never had the pleasure of staying at this highly-rated hotel, I plan to stop in for a tour--perhaps even a stay--next time I am in town. You might want to add it to your bucket list as well.
