"Disputed territories rarely make for great high-end hospitality, but Lhasa’s hotel scene seems to be on the upswing lately — which might bespeak a burgeoning shift in sentiment. That a brand like St. Regis could exist here at all is proof positive. This may be a brand that benefits from a step or two outside of the comfort zone, and anyway no other view on Earth quite compares with the majesty of the Himalayas. At its core, though, the brand’s trademark neutral serenity reads as an act of succor to the resilient local, the harried traveler, and the road-weary pilgrim alike; something of a hospitality hat trick." - Tablet Hotels
