HONG KONG Space in Hong Kong may be limited, but that hasn’t stopped hosts from putting on everything from relaxed brunches to late-night cocktail gatherings. The difference now lies in the catering: a new wave of companies treating food as part of the atmosphere, not just the menu. Think polished sushi platters, abundant cheese boards and refined canapés designed for easy grazing. Whether it’s a birthday gathering, a junk boat day or a casual dinner with friends, these cater

HONG KONG Carlyle & Co. has opened a second location in Hong Kong as part of its fifth anniversary, extending its membership model across two sites in the city. The original Tsim Sha Tsui club will now be known as Harbour Club. The new location, Town Club, opens in Central within New World Tower. The expansion introduces a dual-site structure under a single membership, giving members access to both locations. Two locations, different functions Harbour Club continues as the Ts

HONG KONG Just days before the city turned its attention to the Hong Kong Sevens, Kai Tak Sports Park secured a defining accolade: the Grand Award at the Green Building Award 2025. The recognition positions the sprawling, 28-hectare development as a blueprint for how modern stadiums — and indeed entire precincts — can operate at scale without compromising environmental responsibility. Designed for Flow, Comfort and Climate Intelligence What distinguishes Kai Tak is not a sing

HONG KONG Qué Pasa is bringing a sharper, more street-led expression of Spanish dining to Tai Hang with the launch of its new Street Tapas Menu , available from April 2026 and served daily during dinner. In a city where street food is second nature, the idea feels almost obvious — yet Spanish “on-the-go” eating culture has rarely been explored in Hong Kong beyond the familiar tapas canon. Head Chef Amaru Morales is aiming to shift that balance, building a menu rooted not i

HONG KONG There are few weekends in Hong Kong that carry quite the same kinetic energy as the Hong Kong Sevens — that annual collision of sport, spectacle and citywide revelry. This April, just moments from the action at Kai Tak, Dorsett Kai Tak once again steps into the spotlight with the return of its Wine & Dine Village, running from April 17-19, 2026. Set on the hotel’s ground floor, the alfresco concept feels like a well-travelled marketplace — open, energetic and delibe

HONG KONG If there’s one ritual the British hold close, it’s the Sunday roast — equal parts ceremony and comfort, best served with crisp potatoes and a long afternoon ahead. At Bourke's, however, this familiar institution is gently nudged off course, reinterpreted through an unmistakably Australian lens — looser, sunnier, and just a touch more playful. Served weekly from midday, the Bourke’s roast doesn’t attempt to rewrite the rules entirely. Instead, it sharpens them. The t

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. This April, The Peninsula Hong Kong leans into that mood with the launch of its Analogue Record Series at Felix at The Peninsula Hong Kong — a weekly Thursday night affair that feels equal parts listening party and low-lit social ritual. Taking place every Thursday from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm, the Philippe Starck-designed sp

HONG KONG Central’s 1111 ONES Restaurant & Lounge has long been the talk of the town — not just for its jaw-dropping Antelope Canyon-inspired interiors, but also for being Hong Kong’s only contemporary Italian-French fine dining venue to clinch the Gold Award for Best Overall Restaurant at the prestigious Restaurant & Bar Design Awards. Now, until 31 May 2026, Executive Chef Chris Chan is making midday in Central worth the detour with a Spring 5‑Course Set Lunch Menu, HK$448

HONG KONG In Hong Kong’s fast-moving, design-conscious entertaining scene, it’s no longer enough to just uncork a good bottle. The glass you pour it into has to earn its place on the table.

Launching Q2 2026 across all Town House locations in Hong Kong at HK$898 a piece , these glasses are designed for the host wh

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. Whether you’re planning a refined dinner party or an impromptu celebration, Cuvées offers a tightly edited selection of exceptio

HONG KONG On the 39th floor of Mondrian Hong Kong, the legendary Tuscan butcher Dario Cecchini has brought his signature philosophy of “nose-to-tail” dining to Asia, and now he’s taking it a step further with Carna’s new Butcher’s Menu. Available Monday to Wednesday by pre-order, it’s an evening that celebrates the animal in its entirety — with no shortcuts, no fuss, and every plate arriving in deliberate succession. The experience begins with a choice of antipasti: delicate

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. From small-batch gins infused with local botanicals to playful ready-to-drink co

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. This summer, that world takes center stage in The Season, PCCW Media’s premium drama series that promises to be equal parts dazzling and dangerous. 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

HONG KONG In a city where wellness often leans heavily on high-tech diagnostics and trendy treatments, Upper House Hong Kong is taking a refreshingly holistic turn. The hotel has partnered with Chain’s Medicare Centre to introduce its first Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) residency, blending centuries-old healing wisdom with modern wellbeing practices.
