RIGHT AT HOME with Kate Springer

y the looks of it, we’ll be spending another year at home in 2021. Even though the Hong Kong government is readying to roll out its vaccine programme this month, it’s unlikely we’ll be travelling again anytime soon. And with offices, gyms, spas, restaurants, bars and pools closing for months-long stretches at times, it’s more important than ever to ensure your personal space feels like a true haven, somewhere you can unwind and recharge your batteries. Whether you’re keen to recreate a relaxing hotel experience at home or simply want to revamp your space with a few cosy, calming touches, check out these robes, linens, candles, room sprays and delicious deliveries from the city’s top hotels.
The Upper House
BATHROOM BLISS If you’ve been to The Hari Hong Kong, then you probably took note of the hotel’s velvety “Kapua” (which means “cloud” in Maori) bathrobes by global luxury lifestyle company, Kashwere. If not, you have a lot to look forward to! Made with a mix of cotton, velour and a speciality “wunderyarn” weave, these custom knit robes are impossibly soft, absorbent and ideal for lounging. Robes from $1,000. thehari.com
BACK TO BED There is something about the clean, crisp sheets of a hotel bed that just lull us to sleep. Get that cosy feeling to your own home with bedding and linens via The Upper House: the spa-like hotel sources its 100 percent cotton sheets, duvets and pillowcases from homegrown Hong Kong company, King Long Textiles, while you can thank Sealy for the cloud-like mattress toppers. From $780 for king-sized white sheets; $1,100 for king-sized mattress topper. Contact guestexperience@upperhouse.com, 2918-1838.
The Hari Hong Kong
COCKTAIL PARTY With bars closed one minute, then open the next, cocktail lovers may be missing their favourite creations. The Four Seasons has bottled up one of its most popular concoctions - the Caprice Negroni - for takeaway, so you can enjoy the herbaceous, bittersweet classic anytime, anywhere, alongside bar snacks like flavoured almonds and juicy olives. From $355 (serves two). Order online, pick up from the lobby. shopfourseasonshk.com
