Best places to stay:
A favourite with visiting celebrities, this five-star boutique hotel, manages to feel cutting-edge, ultra-luxurious and homely all at the same time.
Propped on the top floors of a 48-storey skyscraper, each swish suite offers sweeping views of the city, either down towards the harbour or up towards Victoria Peak.
The facilities are few (there’s no swimming pool or spa) but you’re here for the spectacular design – a 40-metre atrium soaring through the heart of the building, honey and caramel interiors from
Hong Kong designer André Fu – and the haute atmosphere, best soaked up at the new Mediterranean restaurant Salisterra. The adjoining bar is also an excellent late-night watering hole.
The hotel is in an excellent location, attached to the swanky Pacific Place Mall (which is attached to Admiralty MTR station, one stop from Central). It’s orbited by four other luxury hotels and expensive offices, so the crowd tends to be suited-and-booted bankers, accountants and lawyers, who clear out in the evening.
The terraces surrounding the hotel allow space to breathe and you’re just a few minutes’ stroll from leafy Hong Kong Park and the hip bars and restaurants of Star Street, Moon Street and Sun Street in Wan Chai.
