"And if you can tear yourself away from your room, you might enjoy afternoon tea in its famous lobby, the luxurious spa with harbor views from its sauna and some treatment rooms, or the hotel's Academy programs offering cooking classes, feng shui consultations, expert-led tours of the local art scene, helicopter rides directly from the rooftop to the New Territories followed by lunch on a yacht, and more (all of which, of course, come with a price)"
