Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

Mandarin Oriental, Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong
Tel: 2522 0111
www.mandarinoriental.com/hongkong

If you’re looking to fall in love with Hong Kong again, Mandarin Oriental is THE place to go. There is nothing that makes you appreciate the place you live in quite like the top quality service at this classically ‘Hong Kong’ hotel. Whilst 5 star hotels are easy to come across, (consistent) 5 star service is tricky to find. So we’ve done the not-so-hard work for you, mamas, and we can vouch for this gem. From the receptionists and waiters, to the bathroom attendants and gym instructors, the staff here are all about making sure you’re enjoying yourself. They completely encourage you to make the most of your time – and with an irresistible spa, a (practically private) gym overlooking the harbour from the 24th floor, and a kid-friendly pool (playing movies like ‘The Little Mermaid’), you can be sure that every moment will be bringing you something new and exciting – in the most relaxing way! Their Verandah style room is perfect to unwind for a romantic getaway, and even has plenty of place to play with the kids if they’re coming along too. Plus, our city’s breathtaking skyline is a dream to fall asleep and wake up to. There’s something about the gorgeously draped curtains on either side of the king size bed that transforms the bright, airy room into the cosiest of cocoons. It’s a stress-free zone, which is exactly what a busy mama needs to hear!

As an added bonus, this hotel is tastebud heaven. From the rose petal jam and perfectly fluffy scones at the afternoon tea, to the Fine Dining Dim Sum Restaurant (with debatably the world’s best beef tenderloin dim sum – complete with 96 layers of heavenly pastry). Whether you’re looking for a hotel to really “WOW” visiting guests, or whether you’re a Hong Kong resident desperately in need of a break, Mandarin Oriental is the ideal place to really ignite your love of the city.

Tai Po Swimming Pool

11 Ting Tai Road, Tai Po, Hong Kong

This is a bit of a hike, but we think three-story high twisty waterslides are worth the trek. The lines are long but what would you expect for the longest water slides in Hong Kong?
