Hopefully, you’re all doing the responsible thing and staying at home right now. And, as nice as it may be to have a little time to nest at home, we wouldn’t blame you for getting a bit of cabin fever (pro tip: if you need a few ideas for food deliveries or things to do at home, we got you). Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like any of us will be traveling any time soon. But, if you desperately need a change of scenery, our city’s hotels are putting on some seriously great offers for local residents – and you’ll be helping local businesses navigate this trying time. So here are some of the best Hong Kong staycations available right now – and yes, even if you do one, you should probably spend a lot of time holed up in your hotel room – because self-isolating will flatten the curve and get us through this much faster.
Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong
Tucked away in a quiet location in the heart of Central, this elegant property is the ultimate luxe city staycation. And, right now, they’re offering an exclusive Wellness Package for guests that need a little calming me-time amidst the current craziness. The offer includes a private 105-minute Vibrational Sound Therapy treatment at the hotel spa, which begins with a full-body marma massage then uses singing bowls to heal, soothe, and open blocked energy paths.
