Luxury
Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong
Reopened in September 2006 after a nine-month, US$140 million revamp, the Mandarin Oriental (which overlooks Victoria Harbour from its perch right in the middle of Central) is a Hong Kong institution. The 502 rooms represent a byword for elegance, and its tearooms and buffets also enjoy a loyal following from rich tai-tai wives to romancing couples. Business travellers are equally well catered for, with full facilities including Internet access from guestrooms and state-of-the-art function rooms to accommodate conferences and events. The black and gold lobby area has style to spare with a somewhat recherché art deco flavour. Top-class dining options include Pierre and the ground-floor Mandarin Grill (which has been given a makeover by Sir Terence Conran), while favourite bars include the M Bar, Chinnery Bar and the Captain's Table.
