Australia
I've never stayed here but people who have certainly enjoyed it. Great location next to the botanic gardens in the beautifully restored Finger Wharf. Fashionable and expensive.

Tetsuya's is the best restaurant I have ever eaten in. Is it Japanese? Is it French? Is it Australian? Is it Pacific Rim? I've never tasted such subtle, brilliant and unusual food in dozens of mini courses. A meal for two ain't cheap but you'll never eat out anywhere else like it.
