For ultraluxe living in designer style, there is no finer Hong Kong hotel – provided you're willing to forgo a pool. Piggybacking on to the top floors of the JW Marriott (hence the 'Upper'), even the smallest rooms, the Studio 70s, are twice as large as other top-end digs and have walk-in closet, complimentary minibar and deep-soaking tub with a view.

And what a view. Rooms are arranged around a vertiginous inner atrium, and topped off by Cafe Grey, the hotel's one-size-fits-all modern European restaurant and bar in the clouds.
