THIS MONTH: HONG KONG

What? One-room harbour-facing suite with 8.7-metre-wide floor-to-ceiling window.

Why? You are right on the busiest harbour in the world. Non-stop patrol boats, container giants, cruise ships – even tourist junks – ply by, with Star Ferries criss-crossing in between. In the distance: the sleek high-rises of Hong Kong Island’s Central district frame the soaring Peak.

Where? The InterContinental Hong Kong, home of couture fashionistas and other cognoscenti.

The WOWfactor: Watch the nightly laser ballet emanate from the island’s rooftops. Afterwards, hit the hotel’s Spoon by Alain Ducasse restaurant, where designer Tony Chi has placed 550 Murano spoons on the ceiling. The next day, try the I-Spa’s BEAUtyTOX pulsed oxygen pressure collagen serum.
