A WORLD-CLASS CULINARY DESTINATION
With 77 Michelin-starred restaurants, Hong Kong is one of the world’s leading culinary destinations. Whether enjoying authentic Cantonese cuisine, innovative tasting menus by internationally acclaimed chefs, or contemporary Asian fusion concepts, visitors have access to exceptional dining options at every turn.
Hong Kong also holds a prominent position in global restaurant rankings. The city is home to The Chairman and Wing, number one and two on the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026 list. Its bar scene is equally impressive, with venues such as Bar Leone as the World’s Best Bar 2025.
From sophisticated cocktail lounges and creative speakeasies to iconic rooftop bars overlooking Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong offers a dining and nightlife culture that is not simply visited but truly experienced.
ROOFTOP BARS AND SKYLINE VIEWS
As the working day draws to a close, Hong Kong’s rooftop bars offer some of the most spectacular settings in the world. Enjoying a drink while overlooking the glittering skyline and Victoria Harbour is one of those experiences that can only be found in Hong Kong.
Whether entertaining clients, networking with colleagues or unwinding after a busy schedule, a rooftop experience delivers an atmosphere that is truly unique. As the sun sets behind the skyscrapers and city lights illuminate the harbour, the city transforms into a stage of energy, international flair and cosmopolitan lifestyle.
ASIAS’S HOTSPOT FOR GASTRONOMY, CULTURE AND EVENTS
Hong Kong celebrates food all year round. Whether it is street food, Michelin-starred dining, exclusive chef collaborations such as the Taste Hong Kong Gourmet Guideline or gourmet events, the city delights discerning food lovers at every turn. One of the highlights of the annual calendar is the renowned Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival, taking place from 29 October to 1 November 2026, bringing together exceptional wines from around the world with the city’s outstanding dining scene.
Culture enthusiasts are equally well catered for. Events such as the Mid-Autumn Festival in September and Art Basel Hong Kong and Art Central in March reinforce Hong Kong’s position as one of Asia’s leading cultural capitals, offering inspiring opportunities to combine business and leisure.
INNOVATIION AT ITS BEST
Hong Kong continues to evolve, setting new benchmarks in architecture, hospitality and urban living. New hotel openings such as Andaz Hong Kong offer additional options for discerning business travellers. Moreover, The Henderson, an iconic landmark designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, features world-class office spaces in prime location and stands as a striking symbol of the city’s spirit of innovation.
Another example of this dynamism is Kai Tak. Built on the site of the former international airport, this emerging district combines cutting-edge architecture, waterfront promenades, entertainment venues, shopping destinations and lifestyle experiences. It perfectly illustrates Hong Kong’s ability to continually reinvent itself while preserving its rich heritage and unique identity.
