Expert review of Four Seasons Hong Kong
Who wants to be a zillionaire? Well, feel like one anyway.
I was lucky enough to wangle an invitation to the grand opening of the Four Seasons in September 2005. Il Divo warbled, the champagne gushed, and a global Who’s Who preened and rubber shouldered. The ambience has never really worn off.
Location:
Atop the Airport Express station, next to the harbour, and directly connected to ifc, Central’s smartest mall.
Bedrooms:
Some 399 extra sumptuous rooms and suites, decorated either Western style or contemporary Chinese, facing either the harbour or the city (not a view to be written off out of hand).

Public areas:
The pool! The pool! Stretch out every single one of the syllables of “infinity” and “panorama”. And watching the lobby’s crisper-than-crisp bell staff is a spectator sport.
Eating and drinking:
Never mind the galaxy of Michelin stars: take a look at the clientele hunkering down in the artisanal French cheese cellar, and browsing contemporary Cantonese cuisine or Chef Masakazu’s kaiseki – quite the best recommendation of all.
Leisure facilities:
French Spiderman Alain Robert sneaked into the spa to start his legendary free-climb ascent of the hotel’s exterior in April 2008. No joke to say he must have been tempted to stay put in the treatment room.
Service:
Nigh invisible unless you decree otherwise. Trying to catch out the concierge is an exercise in frustration.

Who stays there:
A broad clientele with savoir faire, vivre and much else as well as plenty of money (their own or their employer’s) in common.
Price advice:
Coughing up HK$800/1,000 per day (single/couple) for Executive Club Lounge access grants a more than a touch of extra panache.
Pros:
Quintessence of upper crust hospitality
Cons:
You can't really dress down
