It is either: Grand Hyatt Shanghai (Jin Mao Tower), The Westin Shanghai, or The Peninsula HKG -- the Shanghai hotels I did stay in the suites, HKG just a regular room.
BTW, was not too impressed with the Dubai hotel -- moo glittery for my taste

LOL @ James Woods. I recognized him from the picture before reading your post. Are you sure that's his daughter? The silver haired man with a hot young blonde chick is what made me realize it was him in the first place... his last girlfriend was like 23 or something (she also played his girlfriend when he did the entourage episode this season).

Chateau Lake Louise, and Banff Springs are my two favorites.

The Hyatt in Muscat was very nice too.

While all these places are amazingly nice to look at

When I travel, I usually look for the following;

1) safe location and if I am driving safe parking
2) place with a soft bed
3) Internet access (because of the work that I do)

I really never ever care about the amenities. All my dining, entertaining or site seeing I usually do outside of the hotel. I don't even really care about a TV/Cable, pool, gym or restaurant (I usually look up a good spot in the city that I am going). I just use the hotel as a place to keep my bags and lay my head down on the pillow.

Do you guys really care about the property and the amenities? Just curious

I was there 2 years ago just before Ramadan. I had to fight my way through the airport b/c it was full of Indians heading home for vacation.
