VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

At the helm of Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong’s Tempura Uchitsu restaurant is chef Eisaku Hara, who spoils you with delicate, delicious tempura. The intimate dining room feels like a well-kept secret thanks to its discreet location, set behind blond-wood-paneled doors on the 45th floor of the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star hotel, right next to Sushi Saito.
Inside the wood-clad restaurant — an outpost of the much-lauded restaurant in Tokyo’s Shibuya district — a 12-seat countertop overlooks a collection of artfully pruned bonsai trees and an intimate open kitchen. While cozy, the proximity enables you to learn about the age-old craft of Edomae (Tokyo-style) tempura while enjoying the special omakase (“trust the chef”) experience.
And what an experience it is. The Fukuoka native chef lightly batters premium, seasonal Japanese ingredients using his special recipe, then steams and deep-fries each piece — a technique that extracts natural flavors for a juicy yet crisp result.
