Staying at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong
First of all, when I got to my room at the The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong there was a refrigerator full of macaroons...is there anything better than that?!
The five-star service and beautiful rooms were such a plus! This was one of the best experiences I've had at a luxury hotel and I would love to go back any time.

SPF every day ☀️
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Ever since I was little, I've made a big effort to take care of my skin and protect it from harmful UV's. Now that I'm rounding out my 20's, fine lines and aging are also concerns and prevention can be as simple as wearing daily SPF! We might only think about putting sunscreen on when we're headed to the beach or pool, but it's so important to protect your skin each and every day (even in the Winter!) Olay just released their Regenerist Whip with SPF 25 so you can easily add SPF to your morning routine. It blends with all skin tones, and doesn't leave an oily or sticky residue under your makeup. Daily SPF for the win! SHOP: http://bit.ly/Kiersten_OlayWhipsSPF

I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels over the years and, honestly, my room at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong was one for the books. I often find that luxury hotels, while beautiful, are sometimes missing that human element. That’s what was truly standout about this hotel. With only 100 rooms, the staff greets every guest by name.
Not only was I welcomed with wine and 8 French macaroons (which I single handedly consumed in this very tub), each night they leave a different present on your bed during turndown service. And not just a chocolate— one night I got a sheet mask, another an aromatherapy spray.
The attention to detail is unlike any luxury hotel I’ve ever experienced. Even if you don’t stay over, their 2 star Michelin restaurant is the #1 rated restaurant in Hong Kong and a must experience in the city!
