decadence £ £ £ THE LANDMARK MANDARIN ORIENTAL There are two Mandarin Oriental hotels in Hong Kong: the original is the brand’s global flagship, a six decades-long headline act in Central. In the same district, The Landmark distinguishes itself by taking a more demure approach. Cocktail connoisseurs gather at speakeasy-style bar PDT for creative cocktails (the name stands for ‘Please Don’t Tell’) while diners ascend to the seventh-floor Amber restaurant for exceptional modern-French meals in an elegant room crowned by golden sculptural pieces. Other tasteful touches round off this thoroughly accomplished offering — spacious, sophisticated rooms in pistachio greens and earthy tones feature striking circular tubs alongside display cases stocked with complimentary treats; a quiet pool allows for proper swimming; and at the welcoming two-storey spa, experienced therapists deliver top-tier treatments. ROOMS: From HK$6,205 (£650), plus a 10% service charge. mandarinoriental.com
