Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

Kareem George here, with a post for those who love classic luxury hotels. This week I am on location in Hong Kong and thrilled to be hosted by the iconic Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong 香港文華東方酒店 for the start of my stay. It is wonderful to feel as though you are welcomed home after traveling across the globe. Due to the outstanding hospitality of the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong 香港文華東方酒店 team, I am settling in quite well despite the long journey.

With a breathtaking location overlooking the harbor, Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong 香港文華東方酒店 has been a landmark at the heart of the premium financial, shopping and entertainment district for over 50 years. This legendary hotel is a winner of a stream of awards and is the premier address for both business and leisure travelers to Hong Kong. All 499 rooms and suites are beautifully furnished and offer harbor or cityscape views. Diners are spoilt for choice with a selection of ten outstanding restaurants and bars - two with Michelin stars and for those seeking total relaxation, the award-winning Mandarin Spa offers the ultimate in luxurious, holistic treatments.

This was a day for me to settle in and I enjoyed a great workout in the well-equipped gym on the 24th floor, followed by a balancing spa treatment. I then enjoyed a light, tasty lunch at Café Causette before heading out for some retail therapy.

Message me for more information on this elegant hotel and the special amenities available to our travelers. Over the course of the next week, I will share why now is the perfect occasion to visit Hong Kong for the first time or to return...
