...Tate Modern in London, a refurbished power plant with its turbine hall preserved as a massive art-display space. By that time, from their home base in Basel, they were conquering the world.

So just who will take up the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur, tel: (60 3) 2380 8888, on its latest service is a mystery. The luxury hotel is loaning swanky shopping carts?stocked with mineral water and cold towels?to guests on expeditions to nearby stores. There's just one snag.
