If you feel like a lazy night in, you can choose from the hotel's huge DVD lending library; for something livelier, the on-site Backyard restaurant hosts weekend-night alfresco barbecues under fairy-lit mango trees.

The hotel has exceptional dim sum at Ming Court (be sure to ask for the XO sauce, a uniquely blended, spicy Cantonese seafood sauce) and a Japanese robata-style restaurant, Tokoro, that's always a crowd pleaser.
