Rosewood Hong Kong is built around scale: 91 suites, none smaller than 92 square metres, with the Grand Harbour Corner Suites reaching 123. Above them all sits Harbour House, a 1,000 square metre private floor on level 57, with private sky terraces, harbour-view sun decks, and private lap pools.

The interest of Harbour House is that it behaves like a house rather than a large suite. Outdoor space is the differentiator: terraces and sun decks facing the harbour, plus lap pools that make the floor self-sufficient for days when leaving is optional.

It can also combine with the neighbouring Garden House to form a five-bedroom private retreat with its own gym, which puts it in the territory of the city's great private residences rather than its hotel suites.
