Lonely Planet Review
The Hyatt hotel chain touts its Wan Chai representative as its flagship establishment, and after a peek into this plush building you'll understand why. Fully revamped several years ago, it's a beguiling mixture of European-style elegance, snappy service and cutting-edge comfort.
While the outside of the hotel is composed of rigid lines, the interior is nothing but rounded edges. The foyer, for instance, has a parade of pillars, scalloped stairs, a curvaceous reception desk and an oval ceiling, the combined effect of which is very easy on the eye. Rich European-style touches overlay this, with antiques, classical statues and colonial archways garnishing other parts of the hotel, including many of the on-site eateries and the celebratory Champagne Bar. The rooms and suites are sharply modern - excepting the marble bathrooms - with standard fittings including modular desks, leather chaise lounges and top-quality electronics equipment.
