The food is imaginative and based on the traditional regional cuisine (such as risotto with scampi and asparagus followed by fish baked in salt), deliciously prepared and served with style. The wine list features good quality local wines. Eating here is a memorable experience, but does not come cheap.  ]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8268 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5751 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5751 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4891 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4891 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4513 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4513 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3794
Rooms are spacious and elegant and the service is as you would expect. However the best part of it is that the hotel does relatively affordable helicopter rides. A fab way to see Hong Kong or to buzz yourself to the airport.

Don't worry about leaving space for a pudding, though - eat one anyway, however fat you're feeling. And let the waiters talk you through the wine list - they'll pick the right wine for your meal.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3300 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2977

It has the most amazing view of HK Island. Stupid prices, but just have a small beer and drink in the view. Or, even better, check out the view from the gents.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2108 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2092 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2092 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1800 Aside from shopping and eating you can enjoy art in the HypoKunsthalle which presents every year up to four temporary exhibitions.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1800 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1774
The Carmen is quiet and relaxing, depite being only a five-minute walk from the cathedral and a ten-minute bus or taxi ride from the Alhambra.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1774 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1566 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1566 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1529 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1529
