What the classifiers highlight

In West Kowloon, high above the waterfront, the design runs to graphic colour rather than restraint. Bliss Spa, Asia's first, spans 9,000 square feet on the 72nd floor with harbour views from the relaxation lounge. Half the rooms lean soft and ethereal, the rest bolder, and roughly two-thirds face the harbour; a 73rd-floor pool deck sits open to the air.
