Drop almost US$13,000 on a night on the 117th floor of the Ritz-Carlton with a Michelin-starred dinner and Rolls-Royce transfers, or pair a Mortlach aged whisky with USDA prime beef tenderloin

No, travel isn’t a thing again yet – but you can still make the most of the holidays. STYLE has sniffed out a few exclusive ways to make up for not being able to jet off to see family or have a true winter break this Christmas.

The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is offering a grand deluxe staycation package that gets you the suite at the very top of the hotel to yourself, including a five-course meal by Michelin-starred chefs. Speaking of food, Grand Hyatt Hong Kong is presenting a new steak menu called “Meats with the Beast” with Mortlach whisky options.

Not a foodie? You’ll still want to check out the new openings from La Prairie and Harilela Hotels. The much loved skincare brand is opening a first-of-its-kind residence to provide spa experiences, while Harilela is opening the second “Hari” hotel in the world after its one in London.

The Hari Hong Kong

Harilela Hotels are nothing if not brave. The company is defying the pandemic and its devastating effect on the travel industry to launch the newest addition to Hong Kong’s line-up of luxury hotels: The Hari. Opening its doors in December, it is situated in the heart of Wan Chai and comes with 210 guest rooms including three rooftop suites alongside Japanese restaurant and terrace bar Zoku and Italian restaurant Lucciola. This is the second Hari globally – with the first opening in London in 2016 – and as with the London original, the interior architecture and design are by London-based Tara Bernerd & Partners. The hotel takes its name from Hari Harilela, the father of Harilela Hotels chairman and CEO Aron, and the man who established the prominent Hong Kong business family, which today has extensive real estate interests.

There are staycations – and then there are staycations. If all that cash you’ve earned during the pandemic from your medical supplies/home tutoring/alcohol retail business is burning a hole in your pocket, the kind people at The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong have come up with the perfect way to spend it: on a preposterously indulgent staycation package that will set you back 100,000 of your finest Hong Kong dollars (actually HK$99,999 or US$12,900, but that’s not fooling anyone).
