A short list, honestly reviewed.
Properties we know first-hand. Each represented through at least one preferred partner programme, each with benefits we can attach to your stay.
Aman Tokyo
A vertical ryokan above Tokyo — thirty-third floor views, 30-metre pool, and one of the great arrival sequences in modern hospitality.
Rosewood Hong Kong
The defining Hong Kong hotel of the last decade — a Tony Chi-designed tower rising directly from Victoria Harbour.
The Upper House
André Fu's quiet masterpiece above Pacific Place. The hotel for those who want to live in Hong Kong, rather than visit it.
Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong
The institution. Six decades of quiet dominance over Central, a legendary spa, and some of the finest dining in Asia.
Hoshinoya Tokyo
A 17-storey ryokan in Otemachi, complete with natural hot springs piped from deep below the city.
Park Hyatt Tokyo
The Lost in Translation hotel. Still, after thirty years, the best bar in Tokyo sits on its 52nd floor.
Le Bristol Paris
The most discreet of the Palace hotels — a rooftop pool shaped like a yacht deck, and Epicure's three Michelin stars.
Ritz Paris
The legend. Hemingway at the bar, Chanel in residence — now meticulously restored and better than it has ever been.
Cheval Blanc Paris
Peter Marino's redefinition of the Paris hotel — seventy-two rooms above La Samaritaine, a Dior Spa, and the finest Seine views in the city.
Aman Kyoto
Twenty-four pavilions in a hidden moss garden behind Kinkaku-ji. A contemporary interpretation of the sukiya tradition.
Hoshinoya Kyoto
Reached only by private boat up the Oi River — a serene riverside ryokan in the Arashiyama forest.
Four Seasons Kyoto
Built around an 800-year-old shakusui-en pond garden. A rare, measured luxury experience in the heart of Higashiyama.
Aman New York
Aman's New York arrival — the restored Crown Building transformed into 83 suites, a three-storey spa, and a jazz club.
The Mark
The Upper East Side institution — Jacques Grange interiors, a legendary bar, the Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges.
Four Seasons Downtown
The best address in Tribeca. Robert A.M. Stern's limestone tower, 75-foot pool, and CUT by Wolfgang Puck.
Raffles Singapore
The all-suite colonial legend — reopened after a meticulous restoration, and still home to the original Long Bar.
Capella Singapore
Norman Foster's Sentosa island resort — peacocks on the lawn, three pools, and the most private address in the city.
Four Seasons Singapore
A perennial favourite for returning clients. Tranquil, perfectly located, and quietly one of the city's most reliable stays.
