Being an international town and business hub, Hong Kong is no short of

uber-swanky resorts, where you can rub shoulders with the world's rich and famous.

But there is more to Hong Kong's luxury hotels than just glitz and charm. As a point of

fact, the combination of British colonialism, Chinese traditions and other Asian and

other international influences has designed a hotel-culture that is quite unique to this

vibrant town. Similarly, HongHongHongHong KongKongKongKong SpringSpringSpringSpring DiscountDiscountDiscountDiscount OfferOfferOfferOffer provide flat 50% deals for

An article about Hong Kong's luxury hotels has to start with the Peninsula - one of

the city's best-known landmarks. Alongside the Raffles in Singapore, the Waldorf

Astoria in New York and the Savoy in London, the Peninsula is considered as one of

the world's most classic hotels and has long become one of Hong Kong's most

prominent icons. Founded by members of the Jewish Kadoorie family, this famous

hotel opened in 1928, with the idea that it would become "the finest hotel east of

the Suez canal"... and indeed, from the moment the Peninsula opened its doors to

the first guest, its name has been synonymous with welcoming the rich and the

famous to a place of unmatched luxury and service. The guestrooms are among the

most spacious in Hong Kong and are all beautifully decked out, combining classical

European elegance with fine Oriental motifs. Guests have a choice of rooms and

suites in either the grand, Original Building or at the more contemporary Peninsula

Tower, with commanding views of the harbor and the city. The restaurants at the

Peninsula are among the best in Hong Kong: Gaddi's is regarded as one of Hong

Kong's finest and most elegant French restaurants, Felix bar-restaurant, on the 28th

floor, offers an unforgettable dining experience, accompanied by some stunning

harbor views, and the classic Lobby Lounge is serving traditional English-style high tea,

reminiscent of Hong Kong's colonial era. The hotel is also famous for its fleet of

Rolls-Royce cars, which are painted in a distinctive shade of green, known as the

"Peninsula green".

Although the 1950s style cube-shaped building of the Mandarin Oriental might look

slightly uninspiring compared to the glitzy and modern skyscrapers around it, this

internationally known hotel is a Hong Kong legend. Located right at the heart of Hong

Kong's business district, the hotel's interior decor combines European elements with

Chinese touches, resulting in a stylish elegance that revives old-days charm. As

expected, the Mandarin Oriental's amenities are simply superb and include a

stat-of-the-art fitness Centre, a world class spa and a heated indoor pool at the

hotel's top floor, just to name a few. The hotel was renovated at 2006 and the

guestrooms are relatively spacious and very tastefully decked out, blending Western

and Chinese motifs. Almost needless to mention, they are fitted with every comfort

you would expect to find in a luxury hotel... From b beautiful marble-fitted bathroom,

to a CD library and Salvatore Ferragamo's toiletries.

Located in a glitzy, modern tower above the bustling shopping district of Mongkok,

just a short walking distance from Hong Kong's lively markets and the MTR station,

this fabulous hotel prides itself for being one of the best spa-hotels in the Asia-Pacific

region. The guestrooms are all spacious and beautifully decked out in a somewhat

"high tech style", including floor-to-ceiling windows through which you can enjoy

cityscape views. The hotel's "jewel in the crown" is, doubtlessly, the superb Chuan

Spa on the 40th floor, where more than sixty beauty and health treatments are

offered, all based on traditional Chinese medicine. A well-equipped gym is located on

the 41st floor, right above the Spa, and the excellent swimming pool is on the roof,

above the Gym. There is a Jacuzzi too and a lovely sundeck from which you can enjoy

the gorgeous views.

Well known for its fantastic location on Tsim Sha Tsui's waterfront, with unbeatable

views towards Victoria Harbor and the Hong Kong skyline, the fabulous

Intercontinental is one of Hong Kong's most sought-after hotels. The excellent and

harbor, is one of the best places to see and to be seen, and Yan Toh Heen is among

Hong Kong's best Cantonese restaurants.
