The Bar/Lounge at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

"It's a perfect blend of updated facilities with retro charm, evident in its timeless lobby, clubby Captain's Bar that looks the same as it did 50 years ago, and trademark restaurants like the venerable Mandarin Grill and Man Wah (a whopping 70 percent of restaurant diners are locals)"

"The hotel's nine restaurants and bars include Pierre, the new French eatery of three-star Michelin chef Pierre Gagnaire"

"The Clipper Lounge and Chinnery pub (serving the best fish-and-chips in Hong Kong) ooze colonial flavor, as do such touches as the barbershop complete with a super-comfy welcome lounge and cocktails"

"The spa is a spiritual haven and the dining and bar options are many and varied"

"The spa is one of the largest in the city and incorporates a 24-hour gym, an indoor rooftop pool, a gentlemen’s barbershop, ladies’ hair salon and beauty parlor"

"The sexy rooftop-level M Bar is one of the city's most stylish places to take in a cocktail and a view, and the onsite The Mandarin Spa delivers some of the most over-the-top indulgent treatments anywhere"

"With 10 different restaurants and bars, choosing where to dine can be an agonizing decision"

"And while you may not want to leave the confines of your room, there are ten restaurants and bars in the Mandarin Hotel to work your way through, including the M Bar, which is one of the more trendy places to go out"

"On the mezzanine floor, Hong Kong's elite citizens enjoy over tiny slivers of divinely rich cheesecake and an impressive selection of Chinese teas in the Clipper Lounge"
