Although hotel plans around the US keep getting cancelled, in Asia it's a veritable buffet of grand openings and ground-breakings. Nowhere is this more true than in good old Hong Kong, where not one but a few five-star properties are set to open this fall.

The first, the Mira Hong Kong, looks to be your typical chic and scene-y boutique hotel, with all-glass revealing bathrooms, Arne Jacobsen egg chairs in the rooms, and a confusing flash-heavy website. They are admittedly after the "design-driven and technology savvy," but their choice of performer for their opening party says something else.

Katy Perry, of "I Kissed A Girl" fame, will sing at The Mira's opening event on September 17, no doubt clad in faux fruit. To us, this performance seems a random grab at attention by the hotel, but that doesn't stop us from being totally jealous of her for all her traveling and luxury hotel sleeping.

In fact, the whole soiree is being orchestrated by Colin Cowie, the same dude behind Oprah's Legends Ball and the ridiculously grandiose opening of The Atlantis Dubai. Katy Perry is no Kylie Minogue however, so we bet that The Mira won't be shooting off $20 million dollars worth of fireworks to rival The Atlantis' party.
