If round-the-clock pampering is your mission this vacation, the Four Seasons Hong Kong is prepared to see that your every whim and fancy is well taken care of. Unwind after a long day of sightseeing and market-combing with the Four Seasons' 24-hour gymnasium, four heated swimming pools (including a whirlpool and heated pool), and a massive 22,000 sq ft spa with 16 treatment rooms. The hotel's spacious suites, with their wonderfully picturesque views of the majestic Victoria Harbor or Victoria Peak (take your pick), also present a welcoming escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Apart from the world-class accommodation and facilities, the Four Seasons also prides itself on its signature restaurants. It is, for one, home to the legendary French restaurant Caprice, headed by Michelin chef Vincent Thierry and which according to Hong Kong tabloid-spinners has been the site of many a celebrity wedding proposal.

Caprice's ambience is categorically elegant, but stiff formalities are immediately displaced by the restaurant's charismatic and attentive staffers, whose boundless knowledge on the various wines and ingredients used runs rings around the average fine dining experience. And be sure to cast from your mind (and palate) and blaspheme of fancy "fusion" foods - Caprice only serves up authentic , first-class French cuisine, no bones about it. Think pan-sauteed sea bream with fondant spinach, scallops tartare with truffled cauliflower, and crackling pork belly and red wine jus; then finish off with a truly exquisite dessert plate decked with dainty macaroons, homemade caramel candy, and a delicately gooey chocolate fondue. 

Price Range: HKD4,200 per night for a Deluxe Peak View Room / HKD 4,700 per night for a Deluxe Harbour View Room / HKD50,000 per night for the Presidential Suite

Draw Factor: Its incredibly convenient location - the hotel is part of the prestigious International Finance Centre, which is linked directly to Hong Kong station.
