We toil hard to pamper only the most exquisite taste.

It didn\'t say whether 精品 refers to service or cuisine, so I decided to use taste.

neutral  chica nueva: Would you use this in both places? 精品饭店/打造精品?/ I probably prefer 'the finest' or 'the best' here. ('exquisite' doesn't seem quite right somehow - for small crafted objects, artworks etc) exquisite taste is 'over-refined' I feel.
2 hrs
  -> Well, if it was meant to be used in both places, then there is a problem. But I suppose it would be redundant to add anything after "five-star". What do you think?

agree  chica nueva: not sure how it fits in the context, 'the finest products' OK, but '精品饭店'呢?/ Only the finest fittings/decor/service? I'm not sure what's implied by 打造...
