...overlooks either the waters of the Perfume River or the distant stone towers of the former Imperial Citadel. Decked out in warm ocher, dark woods and raw Vietnamese silk, the rooms exude good taste, but the suites in particular benefit from wooden four-poster beds and themed décor that can depart, rather fancifully, from local tradition - one draws its inspiration from ancient Egypt, creating a setting worthy of a swashbuckling Tintin adventure.

Whether you snark at the housewives or cheer for Top Chef's hopeful restaurateurs, there's always a window-shopping appeal: the aspirational lure of those spa treatments and seared foie gras...
...stairs, passed the noticeably empty noodle joint, Wagamama (perhaps, thanks to this reviewer), and an eyebrow-raising view into the seedy kitchen of the Bombay Café, only to find ourselves filled with trepidation at the doorstep of Shabu-Ya. The restaurant’s psychedelic décor creates an aura one might situate somewhere between the Jetsons’ house and a Food Network set.
