There is little doubt that, when looking for the world’s most splendid boutique hotel, Hong Kong stands up to the competition with grace and gusto.

One can also absolutely expect the best in amenities, with a marvelous combination of tradition and innovation that work together to make your stay memorable.

Hong Kong is a fascinating place with an unusual history. One of the world’s great port cities, there is a long tradition of trade and contact with other countries and cultures, and this is evident in the cosmopolitan feel that permeates the air. This mix of cultures and traditions is also very present in Hong Kong’s vibrant art scene, and is certainly evident in the films of one of Hong Kong’s most notable residents, film director Wong Kar Wai. He worked with one of Hong Kong’s first wave directors, Patrick Tam, to polish his film chops, and is now one of the most notable second wave directors of Hong Kong cinema. Wong Kar Wai is also the first Chinese person to chair the jury at Cannes, and has won a host of many major awards.

Wong Kar Wai’s films are a splendid reflection of Hong Kong. Visually stunning, and exceptionally stylish, there is an unmistakable sense of longing that runs through even the most comic of his works. Rhythmically, he is adept at moving from extreme fast pace to extreme points of slow contemplation. The films are also often notable for their unusual soundtracks, which are terribly hip and uncannily flawless, reflecting an obsession with western culture. This obsession is not casual, but very strategic, in their evocation of Hong Kong’s culturally open and curious fascination with the West. In the filmic language, they evoke a feeling of nostalgia and not-quite-there-ness. This seems casual, but is in fact quite deliberate, to tell a story on film that is a lost romance with a past that never was, and speaks from the heart of Hong Kong itself.
