Two weeks ago, I turned 31. It wasn't a milestone birthday, but since I had spent my 30th birthday in quarantine after returning from London at the beginning of the pandemic, I wasn't going to object to doing something special this year. As COVID-19 restrictions have eased in Hong Kong, as well as case numbers continuing to decrease (0 new cases were recorded during our visit), I was looking forward to a more "normal" birthday. So when the Four Seasons Hong Kong invited me for a rejuvenating staycation over my birthday weekend, which happens to coincide with the Four Seasons brand's birthday, I packed my bags several days beforehand and couldn't wait to finally visit one of the most renowned luxury hotels in the city.

A Rejuvenating Birthday at Four Seasons Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a very vertical city, with skyscrapers and buildings towering over the winding streets below. It's difficult to have a bad view of Hong Kong from pretty much any point, however being up in the sky provides you an opportunity to oversee everything in the city. Towering over the neighborhood of Admiralty on Hong Kong Island is the JW Marriott, and on the top few floors of that houses one of the most luxurious hotels in the city - The Upper House.

Hội An is an extremely popular destination for Tết for Vietnamese nationals and international tourists due to it’s proximity to the sea but also due to its pride in local culture. I had always wanted to visit Vietnam, and was originally supposed to visit in September 2019 but postponed until January 2020 to be able to celebrate Lunar New Year in Vietnam. I had my heart set on the beautiful, lantern filled, canal city of Hội An as the perfect place to ring in the new year and to introduce myself to Vietnam.

Let's face it, Argos will accept any excuse to be brought along on a fun staycation. Not many hotels are pet-friendly in Hong Kong, but a few of my favorites are and we can now add The Landmark Mandarin Oriental to that list of favorites. I had been wanting to stay at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental for over a year now, and with most of us staying close to home these days, I jumped at the opportunity to experience an ultimate staycation at this gorgeous luxury hotel for 2 nights in October 2020.
