"Reopened after a 16-month renovation guided by Pierre-Yves Rochon, this small luxury hotel in Causeway Bay offers a quiet, elegant sanctuary away from the neighbourhood’s bustle, with a classic, understated lobby featuring curved lines, soothing blues and creams, and artworks from private collections. The 188 rooms — including suites and penthouses — are themed in calming palettes and furnished with high-quality natural materials; thoughtful in-room touches include choice of pillows, essential oils, spa music and sustainable amenities such as wooden key cards and plastic-free bottled water and toothbrushes. Dining and nightlife center on an on-site venue that moves from a semi-buffet breakfast service to lunch and dinner and then a cocktail bar, with an evening canapés set (examples: poached prawn and egg topped with caviar and spicy aioli, and Kahlúa chocolate mousse) and an illustrated-postcard cocktail menu of seven rotating signature drinks inspired by local landmarks (for example “Leighton 133” and “The Little Ginza”), updated weekly. Facilities are designed for relaxation and wellbeing — a Zen-like fitness centre with views over Victoria Park and complimentary weekend wellness workshops such as breathwork and gong therapy — making it well suited to both tourists and business travellers seeking sophistication, comfort and thoughtful hospitality." - Gwen Pew
