Deluxe dunk: Hong Kong's best hotel bathtubs

Best bathtub for aspiring Gordon Gekkos

For those who invested in real estate then dumped their toxic holdings early, the bathtub in the Peninsula hotel’s Peninsula Suite is the perfect place to lie back and mutter “greed is good” while sipping on a cuvée de prestige.

The white marble master bathroom has a deep tub built for two (or perhaps three or four) set against a glass wall, facing Victoria Harbour. No need to worry about angry investors -- suite security includes a private-access helipad to get you out of hot water in a hurry. 

HK$53,000 per night

When it’s time to call a moratorium on men, slip into the bathrobe and slippers in the W Hotel’s Cool Corner Room. The deluxe tub in the corner has floor-to-ceiling windows with glorious views over Hong Kong Island. You can wash that man right out of your hair with signature Bliss Spa products. A 15-inch LCD screen showing classic tearjerkers hangs over the tub, just in case you get tired of watching the sunset.

The freestanding, seven-foot, round spa bathtub in the center of the Mandarin Oriental’s L900 Landmark Suite’s marble bathroom has the diameter of a kiddie pool, but thankfully is a lot deeper. The perfect set up for your personal hip hop video shoot.  

Whether partying by yourself or with homies, you can roll through the Aromatherapy Associates bath amenities while grooving to your own iPod tracks or watching movies in high-def on a flat-screen TV.
