Everybody has different opinions and impressions when it comes to hotel preferences. Some would focus on the room size and interior decor, while others would look at the location and amenities. But there’s one thing (almost) everyone would love to do under the warm equatorial sun in Singapore—swim!

Hotel swimming pools have evolved leaps and bounds over the years. Going beyond its basic functions, modern pools incorporate aesthetically pleasing fixtures and features based on carefully crafted concepts, exuding charm and atmospheric appeal for hotel guests who might end up snapping rather than swim.

The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is a favourite among businessmen who have meetings at the International Commerce Centre, and young couples who enjoy the finest things in life.

The modern and classy interior design makes the hotel an absolute gem in the skyscraper-dominated city. It is not difficult to see why the Ritz-Carlton is one of the top hotels in the world. The service? Perfection. The staff know each guest by their first name, and they are always polite and courteous, and it feels like they are genuinely happy to see you at the hotel.

The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong has several excellent dining options which will ensure that you will never be hungry throughout the stay.

The Lounge is one of the most popular spots in Hong Kong where guests and locals go for afternoon tea (reservations are required way in advance).

Tin Lung Heen, the 2 Michelin star restaurant, delivers a modern interpretation of Cantonese food, and the Char-grilled Barbecued Iberian Pork is to-die-for. Prices are steep, but it is a restaurant with a terrific view and exceptional service. If you are celebrating a special occasion, I canot think of a better place than Tin Lung Heen at The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong.

Tosca offers Southern Italian cuisine in a stunning restaurant. The food is well-executed and I love that the chefs take pride in the food presentation to provide a terrific dining experience.

I stayed at the club level, so I had access to the Club Lounge’s facilities. It includes a buffet area, a lounge section and a meeting room. I spent quite a bit of time there reading a book, while indulging in snacks.

If you go, you must have a drink at Ozone, one of the highest bars in the world. Even if you are not staying at the hotel, you should also drop by for drinks with your friends.

What I love about The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, other than the wonderful service and luxurious experience, is that it has a fantastic view of the entire city. I was thinking to myself that there is no need to make a trip to The Peak as the hotel has an even better view.

The room was posh and very cosy. It was well-equipped, and the attention to detail demonstrated the hotel’s goal to make sure that every guest has a memorable time. As I was about to check out from the hotel, I felt a tinge of sadness as my stay had been nothing short of amazing and I did not want to leave. The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is, without a doubt, one of the best hotels in the world. I will definitely be back soon.
