Video Summary
AI GeneratedA traveler tests the luxury experience of the Rosewood Hong Kong by booking its most affordable room. The visit covers the hotel's grand design, diverse Michelin-starred and local dining, the exclusive Manor Club, and the extensive Asaya Spa. Despite the high cost, the visitor concludes that the exceptional service and facilities justify the premium price.
Afternoon, I am in Hong Kong and tonight I have booked the cheapest room in the
best number one voted hotel in the world. The hotel is called the Rosewood in
Hong Kong and it is literally just been voted number one in the world's best 50
hotels. This hotel is supposed to be unbelievable. It's got over 10 restaurants,
the spa is supposed to be amazing and I've brought the weather from the UK
with me. It is hammering it down. This is not ideal. You can book suites in this
hotel for thousands, but why have I booked the cheapest room? Because you
can go to any hotel in the world and book the biggest suites and the biggest
rooms and it'll be amazing, but for this to be the best hotel for me, you have to
book the cheapest room and still see if it's the best. What I want to find out
today is, is the Rosewood in Hong Kong the best hotel in the world or is it
just another luxury hotel? Let's go and find out. You can literally see the
Rosewood in the back over there, that's the top of it. Just seeing where this
hotel is, it literally is on the harbour here and you can see Hong Kong Island in
the back. I tell you what, some of the views out of those hotel rooms must be
amazing at night. I just hope I've got one, but I'm probably gonna be on the
first floor. I'm a big fan of Hong Kong to be fair, I like it. I've just never
seen so many designer shops in my life. Right, well this is it. That is the
Rosewood in Hong Kong. I've just got to figure out now where the entrance is.
Where is the entrance to this place? I think it's the other side. I've got a
feeling this is the entrance on the end. Hi, how are you? Where's the main entrance
to the Rosewoods? You go straight down, before the last shop you'll find this carpet and this tree on the doormat just there. Go to the second floor.
Second floor, perfect. Thank you mate. I was expecting this massive grand entrance,
but I suppose discreet is better. I think this is it, Rosewood Hong Kong and
this is the entrance. This is mad, for this huge tower you've got this little door,
unless there's another entrance. Level 2 lobby, this feels nice. Excuse me, where
is reception? This way? Where? Reception, like to check in. Oh, just through here.
Perfect, thank you so much. Now this looks more like a hotel entrance.
Hi, how are you? Thank you. Look at this. I'm guessing this is reception.
Good afternoon sir. Hi, how are you? I'd just like to check in if that's okay.
Certainly, for sure. Just me. Can you borrow for the passport, we can do the check-in for you?
Yeah, for sure. Thank you so much. How was your stay today? Yeah, very good.
How are you today, you well? All good, but just a busy day for today. Really?
Congratulations, the best hotel in the world. Thank you so much. So for Mr. Wilson,
should we stay for just one night and check out tomorrow for the room? That's the one,
just the one night, thank you. Is this your first time coming to the hotel? First time,
I haven't been to Hong Kong for over five years. Oh, really? So this time is coming
for just like a leisure travel? Exactly. Any planning for you for doing your stay in Hong
Kong? No, just traveling around, see where life takes me. Certainly, for sure. So here
for your passport, please. Thank you so much. And we just need to make sure that we confirm
for the reservation. The room will be for check-in today and check-out on the 20th for
just one night. The check-out time for tomorrow will be at 12 p.m. And for the roomies not smoking
in the hotel for all the room, just can you confirm or else a penalty for 8,000 will be applied.
Yeah, I don't smoke, oh gosh. And if that's okay, just maybe you have a signature here and here to
be confirmed. Yeah, two signatures, thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Since this
is your first time coming to the hotel, we do have some suites available at the moment. They
do have a little side that able to look for the harbor side and also which will be for the city
size. So it's like a corner area. Yeah. The size which is like a double size of the room that
you're having at the moment. It's double the size of what I've got. Yes, exactly. So for the room
that usually the price difference will be like a double prices of the room that you book at the
moment. Yeah. But for now, after this count, which will be including taxes and the service charge,
so the extra prices will be only for 5,400 Hong Kong extra. 5,400 Hong Kong extra. I'll stay with
the room that I've got. But thank you so much, I appreciate it. How many rooms do you have in
the hotel? 413 room. 413? Yes, including which is all the suite room and also for all the standard
room as well. So normally this suite then would be 20,000. Yes, usually. Thank you so much. Amazing.
Do you need any luggage assistance if you're sending up the room? No, I've literally just got
my bag. And would you like our colleague to show you up to the room to explore about the room?
Yeah, that'd be amazing. So allow me one second to get our colleague. Yeah, no problem. Thank you.
So for Mr. Wilson, this is Leo from Mr. Wilson. Hi, how are you? Leo to show you up to the room.
Perfect, thank you so much. Really appreciate your help. My name is Mino. Nice to meet you, Mino. Nice to meet you.
Have a great day, see you later. Thank you. Nice to meet you as well. Yeah, how are you today? You good?
Nice to meet you. Amazing, another good day. Yeah, busy day. Busy week. So when was this hotel voted
number one? Last year. Ah, was it last year? Is that the current number one hotel in the world? Current, yes.
How is it like working in the number one hotel in the world? To be honest, very proud. Very proud. At the same
time, actually very tired. Especially after we got the number one. Really? Yeah. So after you got number one,
did you feel like it got really busy? Actually, we're always busy. You're always busy. Starting from
last year, we have more and more business guests coming. Now we have more and more
meetings here and events happening. How many restaurants is in the hotel? We have nine restaurants.
Nine restaurants? Located on ground floor and also fifth floor. Ground floor and fifth floor. And what types
of restaurants do you have? Fifth floor, we've got the Spanish restaurants. We also have the Chinese
restaurants. And we also have a Henry, a smokehouse, popular for a steak. Yeah. And we also have an Indian
restaurant, Chad. Ah, okay. Indian restaurant and Chinese restaurant is relatively more popular because they
both got Michelin star. So how many Michelin star restaurants are in here? Two. Two? Yeah,
both on fifth floor. And are they completely fully booked or can you go? Usually fully booked.
I suggest you book in advance. Really? Yeah, but sometimes you can try walk-in.
Can you pull it up this way, please? Ah, sorry. And besides that, earlier we were on second floor.
That's the hotel main lobby. Okay, perfect. We have a whole cafeteria. Yeah. And a butterfly room.
So that's the Legacy House. It's not yet open for dinner. Ah, okay. And the Legacy House,
is this the Chinese restaurant? Yeah, that's the Chinese restaurant. That's the Chinese.
Right here, we have several different restaurants. Like Bayfair Social? Bayfair Social, Chad, Henry.
And K11 Museum, the shopping mall. Ah, so you can enter the shopping mall through here as well.
This hotel is massive. It's very big, isn't it? This is the main restaurant, is it? Yeah, this is
the Bayfair Social. Ah, this is the Bayfair Social. And is it easy to get in here or...?
It's easier. Relatively more easier than the Michelin-star restaurants.
And what type of food is this? It's Spanish.
This is the Spanish restaurant? This is the Spanish one. We also have one bar here.
Ah, this is the bar. We've got two bars in the hotel.
Two bars on fifth floor. This is the cocktail bar. On second floor, the dark side bar,
which is a jazz bar. And they got live music every night.
So what has made this the best hotel in the world? Like, what's the best thing about this hotel?
Yeah, why was it voted number one?
I would say in Hong Kong, we are popular for hospitality. And right here in Rose Hong Kong,
we are not only focused on the service, but also the design. And we have our own physiology,
which is a sense of place. Like tourists, they want to experience Hong Kong,
we have all the elements here. You can find a lot of optical in the hotel here. So optical
means bagua. In Chinese, this is a symbol that brings you harmony and peace.
How long has this hotel been open for? We've been open for seven years.
Seven years? This month is our seventh anniversary.
So it only took seven years to be the best hotel in the world?
Right. Actually, it's quite impressive. Yeah, but it means a lot.
Oh, no, for sure. Congratulations. Thank you.
I travel a lot and go to lots of different hotels. So it's a pleasure to
experience it. Very grateful. What would you recommend I do then while I'm here?
In Rose Hong Kong. In Rosewood Hong Kong.
Thank you so much. Furthermore, if you want to go to the harbourfront,
you can go to the ground floor. So how many floors are in total?
The guest floor is from 24 to 40. 24 to 40?
The guest room floor. And we're on 29th?
Correct. The sixth floor is the swimming pool and the fitness centre.
Also a wellness. You can get the spa treatment there.
I think you'll definitely find me in the spa on this one.
So actually, every guest floor, we have a salon area like this.
You have a salon on every floor? Every floor. From 24 to 40.
So this is like an extension of your living room.
So I've never seen this in a hotel. So each floor has a lobby next to the elevator?
24 to 40. Yes.
Ah, okay. And what's the reason behind it? Is it just...
It's like an extension of your room, part of your family, a few rooms.
You can take this as a gather point. Also, if you have a business call,
you don't want to disturb your roommate, you can stay here for your business call.
Ah, amazing. So one more public area for you.
I've got to say, so far I'm impressed. So the top things to do here,
I need to go to the spa and I need to go to the restaurant.
Which restaurant would you recommend? I have no booking.
Actually, most of the restaurants are good. It just depends on your preference.
Personally, I love Horse Cafe, but that is Hong Kong cuisine.
Well, seeing as though I'm in Hong Kong, I will go there.
What was it called again? Horse Cafe.
Horse Cafe. It's on the second floor.
Perfect. I will be going there.
They're popular for barbecue pork rice.
I personally like some small dishes with rice.
Having a family dinner there would be nice.
Yeah, amazing.
Also serving breakfast, lunch, and whole day.
They actually open whole day.
And this is your room. Thank you so much.
Here's your room key. Perfect, thank you.
I also shared with you earlier about Otagon.
So actually you can take a look of the washroom here.
The ceiling light, the washing basin, and actually even the soap and the soap stand
and the water glass in the washroom, they're all in Otagon.
That's what I mean earlier about the one which brings you harmony and peace.
Ah, amazing.
Oh, I'll have a look at that. Thank you so much.
Honestly, it's a pleasure. Really appreciate it. Thank you.
Enjoy, Mr. Wilson.
Cheers.
Once again, my name is Leo. I will be in the lobby.
Enjoy your stay.
Yeah, Leo, thank you so much.
My pleasure.
Appreciate it. Have a good one.
You too.
See you later. Appreciate it. Thank you. Bye.
How are you today?
Fine.
You good?
Thank you.
Ah, good.
I've even got myself an umbrella bucket there.
I'm going to show you the room in a bit, but first I want to get some food
and I want to check out the spa.
So this is the lounge on every floor.
You've got all the lifts here and then these are the seating areas here
and then you've got just loads of art in these cupboards.
It does feel really, really nice.
There's not many waiting areas on hotel floors look like this.
No, it is class so far. I am impressed.
Right, let's find this Hong Kong restaurant.
Well, I'm in the lift. I've just noticed.
On the top floor, the 40th floor, Manor Club.
I have no idea what Manor Club is, but let's have a look.
Hi, how are you?
Good.
Have you been to the Manor Club before?
Yes.
Is it nice? I've never been up here before.
It's not bad.
No, after you, honestly.
After you.
Thank you.
Thank you. Have a great evening.
We've just got off on the top floor and this is it.
The Manor Club.
I think if you get a top room or a top suite, you get access to this.
So obviously, I don't have access.
Let's go and have a look.
Hi, how are you?
Hello.
I just wanted to have a look up here.
Can someone show me around?
Of course, do you mind me asking for your room number?
Yeah, it's 2319, so I don't have access to this,
but I'm just wondering if I could see it, please.
Of course, just give me one second.
Thank you so much.
May I ask how should I address you?
Simon.
I mean, it's Andy from the Butler team.
Nice to meet you, Andy.
Nice to meet you, too.
Yeah, thank you so much.
Thank you.
So is this like you get access with this if you book like a top category room or?
We wouldn't say top category, but start any suites, automatically comes with it.
And then for standard room, we have some club access room as we call it,
or club rooms as we call them.
So that's a way to access it.
And then, of course, it is our Manor Club or it's our executive club version.
It goes through Hong Kong.
As you can see, we have a very, very big place.
It's very homey because we don't want it to be very business style
compared to other executive clubs.
Yeah, for sure.
You can see the lighting is very dim as well.
So we want it to be very relaxed.
Yeah, yeah.
As opposed to the bright ones.
And then we do serve a buffet style kitchen right over here.
And then we do have some pantries right over here.
It looks self-service, but actually we don't really encourage a self-service one.
We do want to have them relaxed and we do bring them.
Perfect.
Thank you.
We want it to be very, very homey as well,
even for the layout of the Manor Club.
So even for the coffee pantry,
you'll feel like it's a self-service one, but it's not.
So this is our live kitchen.
Oh, wow.
You've even got a chef in here.
How are you, chef?
You well?
Good evening.
Yeah.
Hey, it looks like you're doing a good job here.
We've got ribs, potato.
We've got everything.
And we do have two sides of the counter.
We do have the more Western side.
Yeah.
And we do have the Asian side as well.
And every day we do have it.
Even for breakfast, for afternoon tea, we do have two sides because we want to.
Yeah, you literally have everything.
But then, of course, for other people who, you know, don't want Asian.
Yeah, for sure.
Hey, the ribs look really good.
And then, of course, we have some noodles on the side.
It changes every day.
We do have about maybe seven to eight rotations.
So it's not repetitive.
Yeah, definitely.
Of course, we do have, you know, some, the ones for some, we do have vegans as well.
So we want to be very exclusive.
Wow.
Inclusive, as we call it, for all.
You have everything.
And, of course, the regular desserts and also the pastries we have.
Desserts, everything.
Wow, very impressed.
Lovely to meet you, chef.
Keep up the good work.
See you later.
I can bring you to the other side as well because our club is very, very big.
So this is the outdoor terrace?
Yes, the careful one.
Ah, thank you so much.
So actually, what we do have here, we're one of the clubs here in Hong Kong.
Yeah.
We offer like the 360, almost a 360 view of Hong Kong.
So you can see the Hong Kong side and here, the Kowloon side.
And I would say this is the best spot here in Rosewood for the sunset view.
Really?
Oh, so you get the whole sunset view?
Yeah, we do get the sunset view.
The best view as well for the fireworks.
So normally when we have fireworks, Chinese New Year, New Year, this is one of the best.
Wow, this view is amazing.
Oh my god, look at this view.
You've got the whole of Hong Kong Island in the back there.
Then you've got the harbour down here.
Then the whole of Kowloon.
That has got to be the best view in Hong Kong.
You can literally see everything.
Just looking at other buildings around, this is probably one of the tallest as well.
This has got to be the best view.
You've literally got this whole terrace down here with chairs.
And then you've got a seating area here.
And you're just looking out to all that.
Not many lounges have that view.
Ah, thank you so much for letting me have a look outside.
I'll show you the other side as well.
Ah, there's another side to it.
So what's on the other side compared to...
Before, we used to have a bar, like a functioning bar.
But right now, it's a display.
But then you can actually drink anywhere.
You don't have to park here to get a drink.
So you're the cocktail expert.
She is.
They all can make, but she's the cocktail expert.
Ah, nice.
You can tell.
And then of course, one thing we do have here is a game room, as we call it.
Look at that.
Yes.
We have a pool table.
We have some chess, some game cards as well.
Do you have to book this or is it just...
No, it's first come, first served.
The thing is, they cannot take the game boards out of Maniclub.
So everything must stay in Maniclub.
But they can also have their food here if they don't mind walking.
Flippin' A.
Playing snooker here and seeing the view out at night.
Look at the view out of this pool room.
It doesn't get better than that.
This club is amazing.
I probably should have took the upgrade and had access to this.
This is class.
You've got the pool table.
And if you come over here, these are all the board games here.
Jenga.
This place is cool.
Thank you so much for your time.
You're welcome.
I just think he's for like seven years in my new car.
Ah, perfect.
Andy, thank you so much.
Honestly, I really appreciate it.
So nice to meet you.
All the best.
Have a great evening.
See you later.
Thanks.
Bye.
Wow, that is a cool lounge.
Let's get downstairs and get some food.
One thing I'd say so far is I didn't expect this hotel to be so big.
Hi, how are you?
Where is the local Hong Kong restaurant?
Hose Cafe.
Perfect.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Look at this.
This is just casually on the second floor.
Oh my God.
Look at this place.
It's a cake shop, also a retail shop.
We do pre-order cake and sell pastry every day.
Ah, okay.
Amazing.
Thank you.
Superb.
This hotel is so big.
Yeah.
I'm looking around.
I don't know where to go.
This is obviously the cake shop and the chocolate shop.
And then is this a restaurant through here?
Yes, this is Butterfly Room.
It's serving the afternoon tea.
Butterfly Room afternoon tea.
Yes, and this is the Hose Cafe.
It's serving western and local food.
Amazing.
Thank you.
What is your best chocolate?
Hazelnut milk chocolate.
Let me get some of those.
We have the smallest size of the box.
It's a box of four.
Yeah, I'll get a box of four of these.
If you say they're the best, we'll give them a go.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
This can be for my dessert.
I'm supposed to be on a diet, but I keep eating chocolate.
I don't know what the problem is.
Forget that.
Exactly, forget it.
We're on holiday, so why not?
My dessert.
Thank you.
What was your name?
I'm Mickey.
So nice to meet you, Mickey.
And good luck with all the cakes.
You can have a look at our art piece here.
The Lucky Dragon.
The Lucky Dragon?
It's not the Welsh dragon, is it?
It's by an artist called Frankie.
I can only introduce you.
Ah, perfect.
How are you?
I'm good, sir. How are you?
She was just saying about the art of the Lucky Dragon.
Yes, sir.
So the Lucky Dragon installation,
and it's actually said that there's an invisible dragon
flying over the city and protecting the city from everything.
See a couple of skyscrapers.
They have like big holes in between, right?
Yeah, yeah.
So it's so that the dragon can actually fly through the buildings.
That's amazing.
I never knew that.
Nice to meet you anyway.
Good luck.
Have a good one.
Thank you.
Hi, how are you?
I'm good.
Do you have any space for just table for one for now?
Yes, for right now.
You want to have a dinner or for drinks only?
Not for dinner, to get some food.
I could stay in a hotel.
I'm staying in a hotel, yes.
And may I have your room number for the accompany?
That's a very, very good question.
I completely forgot my room number.
May I have your last name?
Wilson, Simon Wilson.
I've heard the food in this restaurant's amazing.
Thank you so much.
No worries, thank you.
Ah, thank you.
This hotel is massive.
No wonder it's got 10 restaurants in it.
Hi, how are you?
You good?
Yeah, I'm doing good.
What about you?
Yeah, really good.
Thank you.
I've heard the pork rice is amazing here.
The premium barbecue pork rice is one of the signature of ours.
Really? What would you recommend?
I also recommend the wok fried flat noodles with wagyu beef.
Perfect, let's do that.
Do you think if we do the pork rice and the wagyu noodles, do you think that's a lot?
Yeah, that's too much.
That's too much?
A big portion is like a main course for one.
So what do you think is the best thing to get?
It has to be the premium barbecue pork rice.
So which is better, the premium barbecue pork rice or the wok fried rice noodles?
I said the first time you visited our hotel.
The first time here?
Then I recommend you to go for the rice first.
The barbecue pork, let's do that.
And then is there anything else to go with it, you think?
Or is that enough?
You might have one more starter.
Yeah, let's get a starter.
What would you recommend?
Maybe a wagyu starter or something.
You can try our sesame prawn toast.
Sesame prawn toast, let's do that.
It's a very local thing, it's older than me.
Perfect, thank you so much.
I did not expect this hotel to be this big.
It's actually quite impressive that they can keep such a high standard
when it's that big with so many staff and so many restaurants.
Thank you so much.
Perfect.
Look at this menu.
It's mad to think that you'd need to stay here two weeks
and eat somewhere different every night just to get through the restaurants in here.
Look at this.
So we've got the starters, I've gone for the prawn toast.
Then you've got Hong Kong favourites in the middle, wok fried noodles, wagyu beef
and then you've got the premium barbecue pork ribs that I've gone for.
Then up there you've got salads and soups and vegetable and sides.
You could literally go crazy in this hotel.
Even the white bread tastes amazing.
Thank you so much.
Look at this restaurant.
You've got a massive kitchen over there and then you can see the tables over here.
You can definitely see why this hotel is up there.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome, enjoy.
Really appreciate it, thank you.
Do you need more bread?
Yes, I'll take some more bread.
Thank you.
So this is the prawn toast starter.
That looks really good.
Oh my god, that is the best prawn toast I've ever tried in my life.
Why doesn't prawn toast in the UK taste like that?
I tell you what, it was worth coming here just for the prawn toast.
Thank you so much.
Honestly, that was the best recommendation.
And also the first prawn toast?
It was in the UK, so it doesn't compare to that.
But there's something similar in the UK?
It doesn't look quite like that, but this one is 10 times better.
Honestly, good recommendation.
And the rice is about to go.
Perfect, thank you.
After that, I cannot wait to try this pork rice.
Amazing.
Look at that.
So here we have the premium barbecue pork rice.
How good does that look?
Right, let's give this a go.
Let's start with a piece of pork.
Oh my god.
Honestly, I'd say this is one of the nicest meals I've had.
And I've only had a bit of rice and a prawn toast.
I would have never even chose to come to this restaurant if that guy didn't recommend it.
But flipping heck, am I glad he did.
I've never ordered pork noodles in my life.
I think I'll be ordering it again.
I could eat here every day.
Honestly, I could eat here every day.
I actually think, off the basis of this meal, I'm going to delay my flight home and come back.
It has to be your first try when you come here.
Honestly, this is the best pork rice I have ever tried.
This food is so good.
Does this restaurant have a Michelin star?
This one?
No.
You should have one.
We will have in the future, maybe.
Honestly, you should have one.
The pork is so good.
Nowadays, people don't like to eat fat, they want to be healthy.
So there won't be any fat, but we still keep the meat tender.
So that's why we pay a lot of money.
Honestly, that was the best pork I've ever tried in my life.
Can I get the bill if that's okay?
Sure.
Thank you.
Oh, you want to hang to your room?
Yeah, I'll add it to the room if that's okay.
The price of a meal in the best hotel in the world.
Prawn toast, barbecue rice, a couple of drinks, 548 Hong Kong dollars.
So that works out 52 pound or 69 dollars.
To eat food in the best hotel in the world and it tastes amazing.
It's not terrible.
Thank you so much.
Honestly, thanks for everything.
Really appreciate it.
Have a good night.
Anytime.
Thank you.
See you later.
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Have a good night.
See you later.
Thank you.
I'm hoping I've left the best till last and that's the spa.
Apparently, the spa in this hotel is ridiculous.
And to be honest, what I've seen so far, I've got a feeling it might be.
I still need to show you the room as well.
Ah, excuse me.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Where are we going here?
This is supposed to be the spa.
Hi, how are you?
Is this the entrance to the spa?
The spa?
Yes.
This is the spa.
Perfect.
Thank you so much.
You have a reservation with us?
I do for 7.30.
7.30.
I'm running a bit late, but honestly, the food in this hotel.
How are you today?
Excellent.
Good.
Yeah, that's the one.
Thank you so much.
So my name is Gail.
Welcome to Asaya, Mr. Wilson.
Nice to meet you, Gail.
Nice to meet you too.
So today you are going to enjoy a massage.
So this is our consultation.
Okay.
Please let us know if you have any of this medical information.
If no, you can choose any.
Yep, perfect.
Thank you so much.
Where are you from, Gail?
I'm from the Philippines.
From the Philippines.
Salamat.
Three priorities today.
Boost immune system.
Improve posture because my heavy bag.
Strengthen mind-body connection and stress management.
Head, neck, shoulders, back, calves, feet, chest.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
So this is our homemade welcome drink.
It's hibiscus infused with honey and star anise.
Ah, amazing.
So treatment will start soon.
So if you're ready, allow me to escort you to the changing room.
Amazing.
Thank you so much.
I will.
Salamat.
Look at this place.
Is this all like perfumes and things or?
Because right now our spa, we're collaborating with Guerlain.
Ah, okay.
So this is all the range.
Yes, it's all the products.
Thank you so much.
So Nathan will assist you in the male changing room.
Thank you.
Hi, how are you?
You good?
And Patty will be your therapist today.
Ah, perfect.
Nice to meet you, Patty.
Please enjoy.
Thank you.
Perfect.
Nice to meet you.
How's your day been, Nathan?
Busy?
Yeah, it is.
Always busy.
This place is huge.
Yeah, perfect.
I'll be five minutes.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Ah, okay.
Yeah, that's the one.
Perfect.
Thank you.
How are you today?
Yeah, so good.
Just the hotel is so busy.
I'm walking around and time just goes like this.
Right.
So just put these up.
Perfect.
Thank you.
My locker's number one.
Yes.
So after massage, I can go to the pool and sauna and steam.
It's on the other side.
It's on the other side?
Yes.
This place just keeps getting bigger.
Yes.
The spa is huge.
So does the spa go the whole floor of the hotel?
No, we have the pool.
And what time does the pool close?
It's already closed.
Ah, it's already closed.
But we have the jacuzzi.
The jacuzzi.
And what time does that close?
10.
So I can still use all the spa after the massage.
Perfect.
Okay, I'll get changed and then I'll come out.
If you want to go toilet, you may go straight and turn right.
Perfect.
Nathan, thank you so much.
No problem.
Thank you.
All right, we're all ready.
How are you today?
I'm okay and good.
Busy?
Yeah, very good.
Really?
Non-stop.
So when was your first massage today?
11 o'clock.
11?
Wow, so all day?
Busy?
Today we enjoy time room.
Time room?
Ah, so all the rooms have different names.
We call by herbs.
Ah, yeah, so all that after herbs.
Okay, this way please.
The guest will lie on the bubble table and then the water will fall down with hot and
cold water to massage your body.
Oh, wow.
So you lie on this and this is the shower?
I have never had a shower lying down before.
Maybe next time you can book it.
Next time I will book it, definitely.
And we have the private hydro area also.
Ah, nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some guests would like to add on the treatment.
Yeah, and they have that as well.
Okay, and this is the changing room.
You can take off your balloon and hang in here or it's here, it's okay.
Have you wear the underwear already?
Yeah, I've got them.
Yeah, perfect.
We prepare the underwear and amenity for you to use.
Perfect.
Thank you so much.
When you are ready, please call me.
Amazing.
Thank you so much.
See you in a minute.
Look at this place.
This is just a massage room.
So you've got the massage bed there, all the perfumes and oils.
You've got a little private dresser here with a shower through there.
Hangers, dressing table, the lot.
You come through here and then you've got the toilet.
Oh my God, toilet.
That toilet seat just opened.
And then for the main feature, look at this.
You literally lie on there and there's the shower.
I genuinely never knew you could have a shower lying down.
I didn't even know that was an option.
And then you've got like a jacuzzi bath there.
The little outdoor space.
This place is unbelievable.
Right, let's get changed.
I'm looking forward to this.
There we go.
All good.
Well, I needed that.
That was really good to be fair.
The last time I had a good massage like that was the Bulgarian Rome.
My mum would have loved that.
Honestly, I could fall asleep here.
That was so good.
All right, let's get out of here.
Okay, all good.
Thank you so much.
Okay, you're welcome.
I really appreciate it.
And hope you are coming back again.
I will come back and I need to book longer next time.
Okay, thank you.
Sorry for falling asleep.
I hope I didn't snore.
Did I snore?
No, no, no, no.
But that sleep is okay, right?
Perfect.
Sometimes the body needs to relax.
Exactly.
It's all the flying, all the jet lag.
I'm sat in a seat for 10 hours to Hong Kong.
Look at this place.
This is another room?
Yeah, another room.
How many rooms is there in this spa?
It's the biggest place.
Actually, we have two floors, 6th and 7th floor.
And 7th floor, we have the couple room.
Honestly, I think this is the biggest spa I've ever been to.
It just keeps going and going and going and going.
So this is like the room after you have a massage, you come in here.
Yes.
So I recommend the tea for you.
Sencha and Genmaicha is a green tea from Japan.
Okay, amazing.
Mixed with rose brown rice.
Yes, good for sleep tonight.
How many teas is there?
These are all different.
Oh, well, honestly, whatever you recommend.
Whichever one you think is best for me, I'm happy.
Perfect.
Let's sleep well tonight.
and small bowl.
Okay, perfect.
Cashew nuts, almond nuts, macadamia nuts, dried figs, goji berries, sunflower seeds,
pumpkin seeds, Brazilian nuts, hazelnut and mulberries.
Wow, I think you have every nut in the world here.
So when you come here, you will get everything.
Exactly, definitely.
Thank you for today and Patty, glad to meet you and hope you are coming back again.
Patty, thank you so much.
And I really appreciate everything.
You did a great job.
Me too.
Great job.
Thank you.
Amazing.
And then once I finished here, I just go back to the changing room?
Yes, and then go to the concierge.
Okay, perfect.
And I can go to the spa and the steam room and the sauna.
Yes, yes, but we have in the fitness.
And the fitness center is this way?
You can ask the concierge again.
Okay, perfect.
That's great, Patty.
Thank you so much.
Look after yourself.
Have a good night.
This is some spa, this.
And tea is really nice as well.
I've got to say, I am impressed with this place.
It's absolutely unbelievable.
Wait till I show you the room and tell you how much it cost.
I'll tell you what, I'm still thinking about that pork rice before.
That was unreal.
I'd probably say this is the biggest spa I've been to with like the most selection.
I really don't know what I expected from this hotel.
Obviously, it's number one, so it was going to be amazing,
but I feel like it's a lot bigger than I thought.
But equally, it's absolutely amazing, isn't it?
Let's go have a look at this spa and see the sauna and steam
and see what other facilities they've got.
Where do you even go here?
I think reception's that way and the changing room's that way.
Look at this place though.
So there's obviously the hotel there, but then you've got all this.
And I think this is all the spa, like that's the upstairs treatment rooms.
What's around here?
It says Rossana Ferretti Hair Salon.
If you want a haircut, you can go over there.
Hey, how are you?
Honestly, so good.
The treatment was amazing.
Where can I go to the sauna and the spa and see the other facilities?
From here, walk straight and then turn to the right.
It's inside the main changing room.
The main changing room?
Ah, okay.
So this is the spa changing room I'm in?
Yeah, this is the spa changing room.
And this is the fitness changing room?
Yes.
Okay, perfect.
We have a different changing room.
Shall I sign?
Yes, please.
I'll just be needing your signature.
No problem at all.
Today, you have done a 60-minute deep muscular massage,
and we already applied in-house 15% discount.
Ah, thank you so much.
The price plus 9% service charge, and this will be the total amount.
Okay.
I'll just be needing your signature.
Amazing.
Perfect.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for everything.
See you again.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Have a good one.
Bye.
Have a great night.
Thank you, you too.
What have we got here?
Honestly, walking on this hotel is like walking on the largest cruise ship.
Is it down there?
Looks like you've got a yoga studio here.
Let me show you this quickly.
You can see Hong Kong out of here.
Look at that.
That's the harbour, and you can see Hong Kong Island in the back over there.
That's some view doing yoga.
This is the swimming pool here.
It is closed.
Yeah, they've locked the door, but you can see it there overlooking the whole of Hong Kong.
Infinity pool looking over the harbour.
So it's the same view from the yoga room.
That looks nice, that.
Let's see if we've got this place to ourselves.
Mail changing room.
Check this out.
So this is the other changing room.
Place for your shoes there.
All these lockers around.
You've got two sinks there, and you come through here.
Toilets there.
You've got showers there, and it's all just like one big shower.
As you come through here, you've got like a rainfall shower there.
Big hydrotherapy pool there.
And then you've got the sauna through there.
They've done a good job of this.
Let's jump in the sauna.
I don't know where today's gone.
What an experience.
So grateful.
I can't wait to show you this room.
I've not even had a proper look myself.
I'm gonna miss this spot.
Ah, thank you so much.
Have a good night.
See you later.
Thank you.
See you later.
Have a nice night.
The moment of truth.
Let me show you what the cheapest room in this hotel looks like.
Good day?
Yeah, good day.
Ah, nice.
Where are you from?
China.
China?
Nice.
Which part?
Chengdu.
Chengdu?
I've never been.
Panda, you know?
Ah, they have pandas there?
Yeah, it's a panda hometown.
No way.
Right, Chengdu.
So welcome to Chengdu.
I will come to Chengdu one day.
Have a nice night.
See you later.
Chengdu, the panda hometown.
Well, I'll have to add that to the list.
My room tonight is £29.13, which to be honest,
I'd say for the cheapest room, the 29th floor is good.
All right, you ready for this?
Here we are.
There's my lantern, £29.13.
There's the door to my room, and you've got another room there,
and you've got the umbrella basket there.
The moment of truth.
Hopefully I've not lost my key.
Right, here it is.
Do you know what's pretty cool as well?
I've never actually had this before.
The room key is actually square.
It's like a tiny little square.
And this is it, £29.13.
Soon as you come through the door, you're greeted with this corridor.
You literally come straight down here, and there you have it.
There's the hotel room.
Yeah, what's this?
Dear Mr Wilson, welcome to the Rosewood Hong Kong.
And they've even left us a cake.
Strawberry cream cake.
We hope you enjoy this complimentary treat.
For the best experience, consume it within an hour and a half.
I'd best start eating that quick.
Oh my god.
It's like everything else in here.
Amazing.
How nice is that?
I wonder if these are the cakes in reception?
Oh, just give me a minute to eat this cake.
This is mega.
Fair play.
That's mega, that.
Back to showing you the room.
Right, we've got the TV here, couch, and I'm guessing this is the minibar.
Yes.
We've literally got everything in there.
Champagne, wine, more wine.
Crisps, ramen, more chips, teas and coffees, the kettle.
Is that actually cold?
They've literally put ice in there ready for me as well.
Then if you come over here, you've obviously got the table, a long couch,
and that's my view out the window.
Let me turn the lights off so you can see it better.
And there you have it.
You've got a city view.
It's quite overcast tonight, so you can't see everything.
But there's literally the harbour there.
I'm guessing this is the view you get with the cheaper rooms
because the more expensive ones will be on the other side,
so you get the whole harbour and Hong Kong Island.
But still, I'm not being funny.
It's not a bad view, that.
You can still literally see all the city here,
and it's overcast tonight, so you can't really see too much anyway.
To think I'm on one of the lowest floors in the hotel.
That is a great view.
Right, let me show you the bathroom.
This is a big bathroom.
This bathroom is almost as big as the bedroom.
Look at the size of this.
You've literally got a bath in the middle of the bathroom.
You've got two sinks here.
The sinks are literally metal.
You've got a little dresser here, loads of towels, and this is the shower.
You've got a double shower and two doors to it.
I can literally come through that door, and then I can go out another.
It's quite clever how they've done it, really.
Big shower, bath in the middle of the room, and it just makes it a lot bigger.
I like it. I like it a lot.
Then you come through here, you've got the toilet in there.
Japanese toilet seat that opens on its own.
It's even clean in it.
You've got rear and soft, front, pressure, position, and a dryer.
Right, that should be interesting to use that.
Pulsate.
Yeah, I think I'll avoid that button.
Then when you come out the toilet, you've got the main wardrobe area here.
Somewhere to put your suitcase.
Wardrobe, safe, and then you've got a few drawers there.
It's actually really clever, this.
So you come out the bathroom, into the wardrobe,
then you walk straight back into the hall, and the main door's there.
So you can literally go around the room in a big circle,
and then you're back in the bedroom.
It does make you think how nice this room is,
and this is the cheapest room in the hotel.
What's the most expensive one going to look like?
The most important though, what is this bed like?
That is comfy.
I'm absolutely knackered after that massage.
Right, I'm going to hit the hay,
and in the morning, I'm going to tell you how much I paid for this room.
I'm curious to see what you think.
Good night.
Morning.
That was a good night's sleep.
I tell you, beds don't get much comfier than that.
You're waking up in the best hotel in the world in Hong Kong.
If you'd have said to me I'd be making a video here when I started YouTube,
I wouldn't have believed you.
I'm so grateful.
I think we're going to have to order some breakfast to the room, aren't we?
Hi, how are you?
Is it possible to order some breakfast to the room, please?
What do you recommend?
Do you have like eggs benedict?
Perfect.
Can I get eggs benedict with some salmon?
And then if I could have black coffee as well, please.
Actually, good idea.
Can I have some fruit?
And can I get a pan au chocolat as well, please?
Thank you very much.
How long will it be?
Amazing.
Thank you so much for all your help.
I really appreciate it.
Have a great day.
Thank you.
Bye.
Oh my god, I'm looking forward to this.
I should have ordered them noodles and prawn toast again.
Oh, I don't want to get out of bed.
May I come in, sir?
Yeah, of course.
How are you today?
I'm fine, Mr Wilson.
Thank you so much.
Let me hold this.
I hold it already.
Oh, it's all ready?
Perfect.
Thank you so much.
How are you this morning?
Busy, busy?
So very, very busy.
Ah, good.
How are you?
Yeah, very good, thanks.
I had a lie-in, so I wanted to make the most of the stay.
It's a full platter?
Fruit, perfect.
Only the honeydew melon and the purple.
Thank you so much.
Regular coffee?
Regular coffee.
No milk.
We need something to wake me up.
Yeah.
Ah, look at that.
Egg Norwegian.
It's a smoked salmon.
Yeah, perfect.
Thank you so much.
And the bread basket.
Be careful of the basket.
They're very, very hot.
Ah, okay.
Cool.
Okay.
Look at that.
Delicious.
If it tastes like the meal I had in the Hong Kong restaurant downstairs yesterday,
that was amazing.
The premium pork barbecue noodles, so good.
It's very delicious.
Very delicious.
The best rice I have ever had.
It's a Hong Kong famous food.
Ah, well I need to come here more often.
Amazing.
Okay.
Enjoy your breakfast.
I leave the trolley inside, okay?
Yeah, that's fine.
That's fine.
Okay.
When you finish that, call me anytime.
We can clean the trolley outside.
Amazing.
Thank you so much for everything.
I really appreciate it.
Yeah, you too.
Have a good morning.
See you later.
Bye.
Before I get into breakfast, let me show you the view out the window this morning.
That's the city view.
It's a bit clearer this morning, so you can see all the buildings
and you can even see the mountains in the back.
And then you've got the harbour down there.
That is a good view.
All right, let's get into this breakfast.
Right, this room cost £842 or just over $1,100 a night.
It's a lot.
And obviously, if you stayed here for a week, it would build up.
But honestly, the quality of this hotel and what you get for the cheapest room, I'm impressed.
That's good pineapple.
I've got to say, I don't really know what I expected.
Like, I've stayed in that many hotels.
It's like, what makes it the best hotel in the world?
But honestly, I've got to say, I am impressed.
The breakfast is really good as well.
I think everything in this hotel is just really good.
The question is though, is it the best hotel in the world?
It's obviously all based on opinions and it depends what you like in a hotel.
But Hong Kong's really unique.
The people here are great.
The food's amazing.
The rooms are nice.
And this is right at the bottom, so you can only imagine what the top's going to be.
What's your thoughts on this hotel?
Do you think it's the best?
The rosewood gets a 10 out of 10 from me.
Honestly, I could get used to this.
