As being in China, I went to Hong Kong while
traveling around the city. Since I have never been to Hong Kong, I was very
excited to discover the city. As I looked up for hotels I discovered, that the Mandarin
Oriental has even two locations in Hong Kong. Due that fact that I was limited
in time before moving on to the next destination, I made it at least to one of
the houses and explored the The Landmark Mandarin Oriental on my last day in Hong
Kong..
Located in the center of Hong Kong one will find
the The Landmark Mandarin Oriental. Just being surrounded by various shops the
hotel offers a perfect locating for city hoppers like me.
Arrived at the location, I was blessed with a
stunning welcome area. Just on the left handle of the entrance on can find the restaurant,
where I started my stay at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental hotel with the Director of Communications.
As we were communicating before my arrival already,
the hotel was teached about my special diet and needs. When we arrived I was surprised
with a special setup by the chef. Without knowing what he actually prepared for
me, I was sure it would be very promising, as the bar is the most popular one in Hongkong. Moreover the restaurant Amber is featured as one
of the 50 world's best restaurants.
I truly have to admit, that the served dish was
beyond my expectations. I was a little insecure as I'm not a huge fan of
steamed vegetables but the made up dish was excellent and extremely delicious.
What I noticed on the order cards is that the
front page looked like a white plate. I'm not sure if it's only coincidence but
I think that the whole setting had a very creative and unique expression. Also
the bar area was covered in a wonderful light and everything in the restaurant
area looked very fancy and glamorous. I really liked the lunch and was even
more thrilled for the hotel tour which has just followed afterward.
The hotel has a total of 109 rooms. In total
there are 3 different room times offered which come in the sizes 450,600 and
900 sqf. I was lucky to have a tour through one of the suites.
The first feature I was able to spot was a huge
bathtub and a very bright bathroom. I'm a huge fan of interior and this look
could just have been copied of a look book for "perfect living". Followed
my stunning bedroom space with speared wardrobes for him and her and a for the
hotel only designer bed, I was more than impressed. Everything about the suite
was in purpose to offer the highest possibility of comfort and exclusivity.
Also that wise one can explain why many celebrities stay over at the The Landmark Mandarin
Oriental , so was Victoria Beckham, just a week before my
visit.
After the hotel tour I was brought to the spa
area. I sadly couldn't make any appointments for a treatment, as the spa was
very busy, but I was invited to relax at the pool, Jacuzzi, heated beds and
saunas, which has been a goodness for me during the tough and long distance
flights I have had previously.
I spent a few hours at the spa and had some
great talks with the lovely spa team. It has been a pleasure for me to be guest
at one of the Mandarin Oriental hotels and to get to know to one more of the adorable
houses of the Mandarin Oriental hotel group.
I'm more excited to come back to Hong Kong in future
and also discover the second Mandarin Oriental which is nearby the area.
