The Burman Hotel

What the classifiers highlight

Named after the Estonian architect who redesigned the building in 1930, this hotel keeps his asymmetrical balconies and varied window boxes intact behind a discreet, tasteful facade. MICHELIN's inspectors singled out the handcrafted mattresses modeled on the Orient Express, a pillow menu, and a below-ground spa with deep-tissue treatments, alongside three restaurants covering Cantonese, Japanese and French cooking.
