SHENZHEN Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen has quietly become one of Futian's most reliable food destinations, and we spent a weekend there testing that reputation meal by meal. Checking in on a Saturday evening and checking out Monday afternoon, we moved through the hotel's restaurant line-up, trying their Cantonese, Japanese, and all-day international cuisines. Here's what you need to know. Location The hotel sits directly across from the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Centre i

INTERVIEW Tiana Ludhani and Marcellia Debenoit weren't trying to start a nightlife revolution — they just wanted somewhere to dance that didn't end in a hangover and a 2am cab ride home. What started as a shared frustration turned into No Curfew Club, the sold-out party series that's got Hong Kong's 30-somethings belting Y2K anthems on a dance floor by 9pm and home before midnight. We sat down with the co-founders to talk nostalgia, appletinis, and why "no work talk, no TikTo

HONG KONG First Impressions From the modest street-level entryway, an elevator ride shuttles you up a single floor distance that feels like a million mile-journey, from the hardware stores and dubious nightlife reputation of Wan Chai into the cultural oasis that is The Hari’s lobby lounge. One could easily lose an afternoon reading the spines of the vast array of coffee table books artfully arranged on surfaces throughout the lovingly curated room – and a week just flipping t

Il Dolce Far Niente — the sweetness of doing nothing — is the idea sitting at the centre of WISKII's newest capsule, Postcards from Capri. It's a fitting name: this collection isn't built around a single event or a single silhouette, but around a whole day of Riviera living, designed to move as easily from a morning on the water to drinks at sunset as it does from a studio class to the street. Structural, colour-blocked layered bras sit alongside sculpting leggings and swim,

HONG KONG Andrew Lloyd Webber's CATS — one of the most successful and enduring musicals in theatrical history — is returning to Hong Kong this summer, with performances opening 6 August 2026 at the Grand Theatre, Xiqu Centre, in the West Kowloon Cultural District. The production is presented by Season Entertainment, GWB Entertainment, and SMG Live, by arrangement with LW Entertainment, and marks the show's first Hong Kong appearance since 2018.

HONG KONG Bringing home a new puppy is one of the most exciting moments for any Hong Kong pet parent — but between vaccinations, feeding schedules, and toilet training, it's easy to forget the everyday essentials that keep your puppy healthy, clean, and comfortable. This Puppy Essentials Guide rounds up the must-have products every new puppy owner in Hong Kong needs, from ear and eye care to crate training gear, dental chews, and premium puppy food. Whether you're preparing f

There is a particular kind of frustration that only appears after dark. A restaurant menu that looked perfectly readable at lunch suddenly requires a phone torch. Headlights stretch into starbursts across a rain-soaked road. The edge of a hotel staircase becomes harder to distinguish from the floor below. During the day, vision may still seem entirely acceptable. That contrast can make the problem easy to dismiss as tiredness, poor lighting or an unavoidable part of getting o

INTERVIEW For Erika Peña, creativity has never been confined to a sketchbook. It's found in the textures of distant cultures, the quiet moments of faith, and the beauty of everyday life. The Dominican-born jewellery and fashion designer, whose creations have adorned everyone from Beyoncé and Rihanna to Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba, has built a globally recognised brand rooted as much in emotion as glamour. Today, from her home in Bali, Peña draws daily inspiration from Asi

Thunder Massage bills itself as Hong Kong's only silent massage, and we booked 80 minutes to see what that actually means in practice — not just as a gimmick, but as a genuinely different way to get a deep tissue massage.

HONG KONG I've reviewed 828 pizzas, visited almost every pizzeria in Hong Kong, and built a reputation for saying exactly what I think. As the anonymous face behind Prof. Dr. Pizza, my mission has never been to please restaurant owners — it's to champion better pizza, celebrate those who get it right, and encourage the global pizza scene to continually raise its standards. From the chance meal that inspired me to launch the account to the creation of the annual Prof. Dr. Pizz

LONDON Some facials are a treat. Some are a transformation. This one is both. Tucked away in a building on Marble Arch, Face Spa by Oana is a serene oasis where holistic touch meets advanced technique. I visited on a whim, unsure of what to expect – and walked out feeling like a new person. My jaw was softer, my cheeks were lifted, and my skin was glowing. If you are in London, this is your sign to book in. Once you've walked up the stairs to Oana's cosy studio, a calming spa

HONG KONG In a city where five-star hotel spas and hole-in-the-wall reflexology parlours compete for the same overworked clientele, Ora Spa has staked out curious new territory: personality-driven aromatherapy, paired with sound healing and a face-lifting treatment performed by a therapist with serious pedigree. I left with a bottle of oil that smells uncannily like my own personality and a relaxed face and body. Here's everything you need to know before booking. The Location

HONG KONG Three minutes in a cryo chamber, 30 minutes breathing pressurised oxygen, and a facial that works on your skin at a cellular level — all in one visit, all in the same Central building. That's the pitch at Be Earth Wellness, and we went in to test as much of it as we reasonably could in a single sitting. Here's what each treatment actually felt like, what it's meant to do, and who it's for. All images courtesy of Be Earth Wellness. Where We Went Be Earth Wellness is

INTERVIEW Best known for shaping some of Asia’s most quietly distinctive luxury hotels, Lillian Wu has built a career on restraint, proportion, and a belief that true luxury is felt rather than declared. Her portfolio spans acclaimed hospitality projects, including Rosewood Bangkok, Rosewood Hotel Georgia, and the World No 1 hotel, Rosewood Hong Kong, where she has refined a design language rooted in material honesty and spatial calm. Now, with PAVILIA ROSA, Wu turns that sen

HONG KONG Tucked into the cliffs of Wong Chuk Hang on Hong Kong's Southside, The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong is the brand's first property in the city and its first-ever resort concept worldwide. It's a hotel built around one simple promise: every one of its 425 rooms looks out over the South China Sea. Add an infinity pool, a genuinely excellent spa, two kids' zones, and direct access to Ocean Park and Water World, and you have a resort that works equally well for a
