The Bar/Lounge at Regal Hongkong Hotel

"This Sino-baroque palace drips with gilt and has a rooftop Roman-style piscina (pool)"

"The over-the-top baroque European decor feels terribly dated, but even the standard rooms here are larger than most, and all 481 rooms have modern amenities like flat-screen TVs and minibars"

"Premium rooms fill four Regale Royale floors providing updated accommodation amenities and access to a private 31st-floor club lounge, and two levels are smoke-free"

"For day-to-night chilling, the chic Tiffany Lounge serves light snacks, cocktails, Scotch and Japanese whiskeys and afternoon teas, while the lobby-based Regal Patisserie is perfect for on-the-go pastries, cakes, salads and sandwiches"
