Landmark Mandarin Oriental

Hong Kong


Not to be confused with the larger Mandarin Oriental nearby, this 111-room boutique hotel is Mandarin Oriental's groovy little brother, with more of a focus on in-room technology and contemporary design. Rooms are dressed in swanky hardwood and silk but follow a soft, muted palette of cool greys; 'L600' rooms and above are famed for their 7ft spa bathtubs.

MO Bar, the hotel's swish bar/restaurant/nightspot, is worth stopping for a cocktail even if you don't stay here, just to feel like a captain of industry for an hour or two.
