1. Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong

For the classiest hotel experience, look no further than the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong where traditional service and attention to detail are still hospitality priorities. Every return to the hotel feels like a homecoming with the warm, friendly and familiar faces of the staff from the front desk to housekeeping. Their appreciation and recognition of loyal customers land the Mandarin as the best hotel experience of the year, especially after getting an amazing upgrade to their Tamar Suite.
