If you want to enjoy authentic Cantonese food with finesse, ambiance and a scenic view this is the place. Hong Kong is not a good place for vegetarians with meat stocks and powders often finding their way into apparently vegetarian dishes. So it was great to find a true vegetarian tasting menu at Man Wah. The non vegetarian menu is also excellent which combined with excellent cooking and friendly professional service provided a very special dinner.Next time when you visit hong kong, dont forget Man Wah be on your list.

Excellent property and flawless service. There are many outstanding hotels in Chicago but this is certainly in the top three. The design is beautiful and one of the most shocking elements is the sound insulation of the rooms.     

                                                                              

This hotel is one of the best hotels in Chicago. It is like being at home. It is extremely quiet, never a busy lobby and elegant in every way. Each room has a fireplace and the decor is very pleasing and tranquil.
