Four Seasons of Hong Kong

Where: 8 Finance Street, Central, Hong Kong, Hong Kong

The New York Times has checked out the Four Seasons Hong Kong which opened last September amid the city's International Finance Center where business professionals and shoppers congregate by the waterfront.  The reason why this place is so special is not just because it's a Four Seasons but rather because it is the first major new hotel to open in Hong Kong in 15 years.

The hotel has five restaurants and bars, including a busy lobby lounge. The reporter did get a little lost in translation with the concierge who offered a tea house when the reporter asked for a wonton-noodle restaurant.

The rooms are split between those with Chinese-style decor and those with more Western influences.  But all are big, at close to 500 sq. feet with floor to ceiling windows and 42-inch plasma televisions.

The hotel also as a spa, two outdoor infinity pools, a fitness center and decidedly poor business center on the 45th floor with only three computers, and costs about $6.60 for 15 minutes.
