REVIEW | St Regis on The Bund Shanghai, China
With 270 degree views of the Pudong skyline, The Bund and Yu Garden from our room, we expected an equally magnanimous price tag, but for less than USD500 a night we were treated to these views and the classic St Regis luxury and service. If this doesn't scream value and luxury, I don't know what will!

REVIEW | Ritz Carlton Bangkok, Thailand
Since the hotel's grand opening in December 2024, reviews noticeably improved and our experience was a testament to that - this is the only hotel we had been to that thoroughly and consistently exceeded our expectations - far from what early guests experienced in their initial days. If you are looking for impeccable service and ultimate luxury, look no further.
