1. LEARN TEPPANYAKI IN A MICHELIN STAR KITCHEN, CAPELLA HANOI, VIETNAM

Capella Hanoi is home to the one Michelin-starred restaurant, Hibana by Koki, that is famous for introducing fine teppanyaki cuisine in the city. The restaurant is known for its exquisite food, a traditional sake bar, and beautifully designed private dining rooms.

A special experience for resident guests of the hotel includes a cooking experience at Hibana by Koki where expert chefs not only showcase the art of preparing delicious dishes and fancy knife and grilling techniques, but also teach participants tips and tricks to replicate some of the easy-to-make dishes back home. The fun cooking session is followed by an indulgent meal of all that you learnt and helped prepare. The menu can be customised as per the guests' dietary preference, including an all-vegetarian menu. capellahotels.​com

2 PARTAKE IN CHAMPAGNE SABRAGE, ST. REGIS HOTELS, GLOBAL

When the clock strikes six, gather for an evening ritual that dates back to the time of Napoleon Bonaparte. No, it's not to greet your knight in shining armour, but to witness the suave butler perform the dramatic art of sabrage (slicing the neck off a champagne bottle with a saber).

After this grand spectacle, the bubbly is served to all guests present.
