In 2023, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong marked its 60th anniversary in a lavish affair that saw the city’s most revered movers and shakers - from tycoons to A-listers including actress Michelle Yeoh - come together to celebrate the iconic hotel. 

For six decades, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong has defined luxury through its exceptional service, luxurious rooms and five-star restaurants that hold a special place in many Hongkongers’ hearts - from the Mad Men-esque Mandarin Grill to the unapologetically old school Captain’s Bar. New, but equally notable, is The Aubrey, which serves modern Japanese cuisine and superb cocktails. 

If you’re the superstitious type, the hotel also has excellent feng shui. Mandarin Oriental has consulted Hong Kong-based feng shui master Joseph Chau to ensure that wealth, peace and prosperity flow through its locations around the globe, including at Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong. For example, a small unicorn statue in the lobby is strategically placed to chase away bad qi. 

Guests can choose between city or harbour view rooms, with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the lights and energy of the city into its elegant rooms. The stately guest rooms’ decor features quality finishings, with nods to Hong Kong history by way of stunning antiques and Chinese-inspired design elements. 

To recharge, book yourself in for a treatment at the Mandarin Spa, which focuses on tailor-made treatments inspired by Chinese medicine. Gents should not miss the famous Mandarin Barbers, which offers traditional shaving and hair services together with restorative grooming treatments.
