The St. Regis Zhuhai

Occupying the 41st through 72nd floors of Zhuhai Tower along the Wanzai waterfront, this Forbes Four Star hotel positions itself somewhere between the Pearl River Delta and the clouds. Wilson Associates designed the interiors with Gilded Age New York in mind, so expect creams, muted greens, and a certain studied grandeur. Two pools, butler service, and 251 rooms with sweeping views toward Macau make it easy to forget that ground level exists.
