Where to dine: The lavish hotel is also known for two excellent on-site restaurants: Smeraldi’s (think organic steaks and homemade pastas inspired by southern Italian cuisine) and Sai Sai (creative pan-Asian cuisine and sushi). The hotel is equally famous for its afternoon tea served in the Rendezvous Court, which was the original hotel lobby.
