Modern Asian design doesn´t always have to be minimalist. For instance, the boutique hotel The Scarlet presents itself in an eclectic, opulent and dramatic boudoir style. Grace International decorated the 80 rooms in black and gold, burgundy and violet, combining high-end materials; the Passion Suite is particularly seductive. The restaurants likewise simulate all the senses: the glamorous Desire with sophisticated meal combinations and the rooftop lounge Breeze with a view of Chinatown.
