This newcomer is the most talked-about hotel of the moment, with rooms to die for, a luxurious spa, and one of the hottest restaurants in town. Opened in 2005 and just a stone's throw from the Central Ferry Piers, it also provides easy access to ifc mall, Hong Kong Station (with direct access to the airport), and the MTR subway, all without having to step outside. Rising 45 stories, it's a cool urban oasis, buffered from the city's inherent bustle and providing a polished service that rises above even Hong Kong's legendary pampering. Although its light-infused lobby is too low to provide views, its outdoor lap and infinity pools and whirlpool have great harbor views, and an executive lounge on the top floor, which any guest can use by paying a daily supplement, boasts fantastic views and even an outside deck. With 18 treatment rooms, its spa is among the largest of any hotel in Hong Kong, as well as one of the coolest: Who wouldn't love lounging, après massage, in a private jet bath with harbor views? If you want to snag a table in the French restaurant Caprice, book early.
Rooms, measuring 45 sq. m (484 sq. ft.) and featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking either the city or harbor (harbor rooms, of course, cost more), are either contemporary Western with muted colors or a modern take on traditional Chinese design, the latter with gold-lacquered ceiling, red furniture, and mother-of-pearl inlay on the bathroom floor. All feature 42-inch plasma TVs, focused bedside reading lights, and spacious marbled bathrooms with two sinks, shower stalls and deep soaking tubs, from which you can operate a small, mounted LCD TV via remote. In short, with its seamless service and top-grade facilities, there's no mistaking that this is a Four Seasons, and until a new glam hotel comes along (and this being Hong Kong, one most assuredly will), it's at the top of the pack.
