What it is

A modernist 116-room retreat with glass walls, a Michelin starred restaurant (plus three more), and a warm and serene spa.

What it isn't

Bright and colorful. Interiors here are muted, streamlined and elegant, which puts the focus on the show-stopping views.

What we think

There is no end to the pampering at The PuXuan, where every single guest gets a V.I.P. experience. Daily breakfasts for two in their Michelin-guide selected restaurant Rive Gauche? Included. A mini bar that you can raid gratis? Included. A welcome amenity and drink of your choice at check-in? Yes: included. The guest rooms themselves are just as luxurious; even the beginning room category starts at a whopping 538 square feet and includes 500-thread-count bed linens, spa-like high-pressure rainforest shower and tub, automated blinds and lighting, and so much more. Our favorite room option, though, might be the Deluxe Suite, thanks to its separate living room and walk-in wardrobe within a sweeping 807 square foot floor plan. Say it with us: “Aaaaah.”

You're here because

You travel to eat, mostly, and the hotel has exquisite dining options, ranging from the One Michelin starred Fu Chun Ju, a peerless Cantonese restaurant, to tucked away Tea Room.

The Moment

You always feel at least 10 years younger when you travel—there’s something about seeing a new place that always does it for you. But today at the spa, after your 3D Collagen shock facial, you look 10 years younger, too.
