Ex. 11. Read the text and speak about three of the best business hotels.
World's Best Business Hotels
No. 1. The Peninsula, Shanghai
Peninsula Hotels chairman Michael Kadoorie spent his childhood in Shanghai, so the March 2010 premiere of the Peninsula Shanghai was a homecoming of sorts. This granite-clad building along the Bund is a Modernist reflection of its Art Deco–era neighbors, the Shanghai Club and Sassoon House. Architect David Beer and interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon delivered brass- and-mahogany elevators and 235 guest rooms that combine embossed glass lamps and black-lacquer screens with 21st-century amenities that business travelers will appreciate. All come with VoIP phones, portable master control panels, and spa tubs with music and light settings.
No. 2 Four Seasons Hotel, Mexico, D.F., Mexico City
3 of 16
After a day of meetings, it’s a pleasure to retreat to the Four Seasons, which manages to make the hectic metropolis of Mexico City feel relaxing. Its colonial-hacienda architecture, Mexican gardens (with tropical-fruit trees, orchids, and chirping caged canaries), courtyard dining, and proximity to verdant Chapultepec Park represent an oasis of calm amid the bustle of the capital. The 240 spacious guestrooms promote tranquility with a neutral palette, deep soaking tubs, and views of elegant Paseo de la Reforma or the quiet courtyard. In keeping with Four Seasons culture, the large staff is warm, genuinely helpful, and utterly unflappable.
No. 3 Four Seasons Hotel, Hong Kong
5 of 16
At this waterfront property, the spacious rooms favor clean-lined, modern minimalism, with Asian-infused touches like lacquered-wood tables and silk cushions and throws. All have 42-inch plasma-screen TV’s, and luxurious bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads. Of the on-site dining options, two are excellent: Lung King Heen, serving innovative Cantonese cuisine, and the three-Michelin-star French restaurant Caprice. Set aside some time to enjoy the spectacular rooftop deck, where twin swimming pools overlook Victoria Harbour.
No. 4 The Peninsula, Tokyo
6 of 16
In a city that is notoriously difficult to navigate, the Peninsula’s concierge staff is especially skilled, able to score tables at Michelin-ranked restaurants or find bilingual guides to navigate you through the boisterous Tsukiji Fish Market. The hotel occupies a prime corner facing the Imperial Palace and Hibiya Park. Its 314 rooms and suites each feature stone accents, warm woodwork, and Japanese lacquer touches—as well as high-tech touch lighting and Lavazza espresso machines.
No. 5 Stafford London by Kempinski
This refined property offers something for everyone: the renovated main house features tastefully appointed rooms with a traditional decor; the Carriage House has a country flair; and Stafford Mews houses modern suites that sprawl over seemingly endless square feet. There’s also plenty of choice at Lyttelton restaurant, which focuses on rustic, British cuisine. At the American bar, more than 3,000 memorabilia items (knick-knacks, photographs, airplane models, ties) hang from the walls, and the in-house wine cellar specializes in Burgundy and Bordeaux.
No. 6 Four Seasons Hotel, Buenos Aires
8 of 16
This Buenos Aires landmark occupies a modern 12-story tower and a handsome Belle Époque mansion, connected by immaculately landscaped gardens in the exclusive Recoleta neighborhood. Each room reflects the era of the building that houses it: the 161 tower rooms are bright, airy, and understated, with bursts of color, texture, and sheen; while the seven sprawling Mansion suites embody classic French opulence (glass chandeliers, floral rugs, gilded mirrors, and original antique tea sets).
