HONG KONG Tucked along Soho’s ever-animated Peel Street, Bourke's has never been shy about its antipodean identity. But with the launch of its new menu this March, the bar leans in with renewed confidence — dialling up both nostalgia and nuance in what it calls an “Australian Bar Experience”. It’s less a rebrand than a refinement: a clearer, more self-assured expression of what Bourke’s has always hinted at since opening in October 2024. At its core, the update reads like a l

HONG KONG There’s a particular kind of magic to vinyl — unhurried, a little imperfect, and far more personal than anything a playlist algorithm can conjure.

Taking place every Thursday from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm, the Philippe Starck-designed sp

HONG KONG There’s a particular kind of magic in hosting at home—the quiet clink of crystal, the low hum of conversation, the deliberate pacing of an evening that feels both intimate and indulgent. In Hong Kong, the art of entertaining has evolved into something more curated, more considered. And at the heart of it all? The bottle you choose to pour.

HONG KONG In a city long synonymous with neon-lit whisky bars and rooftop Champagne rituals, Hong Kong’s drinking culture has quietly undergone a craft revolution. Beyond the imported labels that dominate hotel backbars, a new generation of homegrown producers is distilling, brewing and blending spirits that speak fluently in the language of the city itself: inventive, international and exciting.

HONG KONG Hong Kong’s high society has long been a source of fascination — its yacht parties, charity galas, and horse races offering a glimpse into a world of old money and new ambition.

Produced in partnership with SK Global (Crazy Rich Asians, Delhi Crime), the six-part saga will premiere globally in June 2026. What Is The Seas

HONG KONG Julie Liu couldn’t find a qipao that fit her style – or her height – for a friend's wedding, so she decided to create one herself – and Qipology was born. Tall, poised, and quietly commanding, the qipao has long been a symbol of elegance – and, for many, a little intimidating. Julie Liu knows this better than most. Born in the U.S. but raised in Hong Kong, she moved through the fashion world at Lane Crawford, Dolce & Gabbana, and DFS, learning the art of curation, d

HONG KONG Yes, the name might remind you of a certain seminal 20th century artist, and no – they didn’t steal it. Think of this as the ultimate homage: the elemental, architectural aesthetic of Piet Mondrian – the pioneering Dutch abstract painter behind those big, bold, primary-colour cuboid patterns – so inspired the designers of the first Mondrian hotel, they put his name outside. Sitting pretty on LA’s Sunset Strip since 1985, that notorious celebrity hangout was later im

Yet that is precisely what À Poêle Bistro has managed to do.
