“So the Michelin star is a welcome win for the eatery [Mandarin Grill] and it’s not difficult to see why given the fine execution of food and trendy innovations . . . go there to be impressed”

The Business Times, Singapore, January 2010

“This landmark near the HSBC Main Building is within walking distance of "anything you'd want to see." Blending Western and Asian designs, with dark- or blond-wood paneling, the individually furnished rooms are "sublimely relaxing."

Conde Nast Traveler, USA, December 2009

“Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong survives as an iconic anchor in the hearts of many Hongkongers and victoriously retains its legendary status as a quintessential luxury hotel”

Tatler Hong Kong, November 2009

“Wonderful restaurants, including a hidden gem of a chef’s table deep in the kitchens, plus world famous barber’s shop, cake maker and rose petal jam: just some of the touches that single out this superb hotel”

Square Mile Magazine, UK, November 2009

“This handsome restaurant [Mandarin Grill] is one of the best places in town to take food lovers. The menu is elegant, filled with luxury foods such as traditional roasts, fresh seafood, and a great oyster menu. Of all the oyster bars we’ve tried, this has to be the top spot in the city for them based on variety and taste.”
