If understated luxury is your game, St. Regis is the brand for you. The hotel made its name specialising in phenomenal service and luxury without the pomp and circumstance. St. Regis Hong Kong was designed by Hong Kong-born André Fu, who is famous for his ability to combine natural light and clean lines to create open spaces with his signature grandeur. The St. Regis Bar is renowned worldwide and in Hong Kong there is a comprehensive list of booze ranging from wines to rum, gin and spirits, as well as offering a premium selection of food and cocktails inspired by the gilded age of New York. L'Envol dishes up a delectable range of contemporary French cuisine while Chinese restaurant Rùn is one of the best in the city. St. Regis’ athletic club and spa offers facials and treatments by 3Lab and Ooi, the latter is a brand created by royalty facialist Ada Ooi.

The Peninsula Hong Kong

For a signature Hong Kong experience look no further than The Peninsula Hong Kong. While it’s known for its afternoon teas and chic colonial era surrounds, every aspect of The Peninsula is just as exquisite. The rooms are spacious, well-furnished and some suites are equipped with a telescope to gaze at the beautiful Victoria Harbour. Spring Moon is arguably one of the best Chinese restaurants in town, and it’s one of the few places left that still serve the labour- and ingredient-intensive eight-treasure duck. You might want to dress up to go to Gaddi’s as it is one of the longest-running French restaurants in the city, and many regard it as the pinnacle of sophistication. A serene bamboo theme enhances the Zen factor at The Peninsula Spa, and the panoramic view of the harbour at its lounge is breathtakingly beautiful.
