Two bedroom suites are also available. Guests of Imperial Club and Club Suite categories enjoy access to the Imperial Club Lounge, for free drinks and snacks throughout the day, afternoon tea, pre-dinner drinks and canapés, complimentary access to Atlantis Kids’ Club for 3-12 yrs (10:30am–5pm), afternoon access to The Zone for teens and use of the steam, sauna and jet pool facilities at ShuiQi Spa.

From a choice of 23 restaurants and bars, we think Nobu leads the way with its innovative Japanese-style fusion dishes, while YUAN’s modern interpretation of classic Chinese cuisine is also superb. The award-winning Ronda Locatelli is recommended for its sophisticated delivery of authentic Italian dishes, and Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen and Bar offers a delectable British European menu in a lively warehouse-style gastropub. Of course, there’s also an array of casual dining options, offering everything from light snacks by the pool to the interactive experience of theatre-style cooking, and kids and parents alike won’t be able to resist The Burger Joint at least once during the stay.
