FOR PAMPERING & THE PAST
The St. Regis Hong Kong
Spread across 25 floors, the St. Regis is perfect for a polished yet unpretentious getaway. Hong Kong interior designer Andre Fu fused the hotel’s Wan Chai location with the brand’s history to create a heritage feel; dapper butlers, afternoon tea in the Drawing Room and spiral staircases all nod to the past. This summer, book into their 24-hour staycation package focusing on wellness, and make the most of the outdoor swimming pool, gym, spa with steam rooms, whirlpools and saunas, and menu of massages and facials. And, as St. Regis holds the honour of inventing the Bloody Mary, it’d be rude not to indulge in one or two at the bar!
Lightfoot Travel special offer: Book a stay and receive a complimentary afternoon tea for two guests.
FOR PEACE & PRIVACY
Rosewood Hong Kong
If the easing of social distancing has left you feeling oddly exposed, grab your favourite person or pet, and escape to Victoria Dockside where Rosewood’s cobbled driveway and petite lobby offer a discreet arrival. Work off excess quarantine cakes at the high-tech gym or outdoor pool, or join the complimentary HIIT, yoga and meditation classes. After a Chinese meal at The Legacy House, enjoy live music at the hotel bar The Dark Side (a cheeky reference to the term islanders use for Kowloon). Entrylevel rooms start at 570 square feet, so prepare to spread out in style.
Lightfoot Travel special offer: Book a stay and receive a complimentary bottle of wine.
