Seeking indulgence and pampering in Macau? Check out some of the following luxurious retreats…
The first thing one notices upon arriving at the Shangri-La is the service. It isn’t ingratiating. It isn’t over the top. It’s efficient and attentive, with genuinely helpful staff who all seem to be fluent in multiple languages.
The St. Regis in Beijing is one of China’s most luxurious hotels, providing every imaginable comfort a traveler could dream of. Perhaps the most striking tribute to aesthetics in the lobby are the sea of delicate multi-tiered glass chandeliers, enshrouded with elegant lampshades, descending from the ceiling like jellyfish.
The Press Club Bar inside the St. Regis hotel in Beijing is one of the city’s hottest watering holes, and home of the famous Great Wall Bloody Mary.
In Singapore’s Little India district there’s a stylish boutique hotel making waves. The Wanderlust Hotel is a haven for contemporary design, filled with funky, one-of-a-kind rooms decorated around cool themes like outer space, bling, a tree, and a typewriter. There are even rooms inspired by paper, origami, and Pop Art, plus 10 color-soaked Pantone rooms (inspired by custom ink colors used by graphic designers).
Okay, I’m not usually one to talk about time spent in the bathroom. However, I just have to make an exception for the über-luxe guest bathrooms at the St. Regis hotel in Beijing. Alright, I’m not actually just talking about the bathrooms, although the designer bath and body products, fresh flowers, and flat screen television in the mirror are certainly nice. What I’m really dying to tell you about is the toilet!
Hong Kong artist Danny Lee Chin-fai’s three-piece sculpture titled Dance of Clouds and Rain is an awe-inspiring, elemental sight to behold, housed in the skyward-sweeping lobby of the Grande Hyatt Macau. Composed of giant suspended raindrops and water rivulets spilling from clouds in the ceiling, Danny’s pieces sway slightly in the breeze, the soft curves of these stunning show-stoppers dangling harmoniously amongst a sea of geometric modernism.
