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"
