Mandarin Oriental

Hong Kong


The venerable Mandarin has historically set the standard in Asia and its Hong Kong hotel is the original, maintaining a sense of gracious, old-world charm. The styling, service, food and atmosphere are stellar throughout and locals know it – the MO does 3000 food and drink covers a day and 70% is local business; afternoon tea is particularly popular.

Its indoor pool, however, isn't a patch on the outdoor one at Four Seasons, despite the giant video wall.
