In September 2006, the legendary Mandarin, which has served the international elite since 1963, completed a top-to-bottom renovation that included the installation of one of the city's most elaborate spas. Five new categories of rooms, from "study" to "harbour," span a wider price range than ever before. All have been updated to a space-age standard: flat-panel LCDs, iPod docks, Hermès toiletries. On the 25th floor, rising high above the Central skyline, are renowned chef Pierre Gagnaire's restaurant and the panoramic M Bar.

I stayed there after they have renovated the rooms and now it is really back at the top again.
Rooms are modern but with an old time style and very elegant. Only the electronic messaging system in the room is hopelessly complicated. Service is impeccable. It is now neck on neck with other landmark names like the Four Seasons again.
