Lavish, luxurious living is within reach at the Rosewood Hong Kong
I’ll admit it: As the editor of a magazine, I’ve stayed in my fair share of impressive luxury hotels across the world, from Singapore to Seoul, the Maldives and beyond. But on my most recent trip to Hong Kong, I had the opportunity to stay at one of the cities’ new additions—the Rosewood Hong Kong—and I was blown away by the sheer luxuriousness of it all.
Artworks, books and knick-knacks within the hotel pay tribute to Hong Kong and the Cheng family’s history.

Here, you will be enjoy classic cocktails jazzed up by the expert bartenders, peruse the bar’s sizeable collection of dark spirits—fine rum, whisky and calvados—and an expertly curated selection of fine cigars. Lucky patrons might even be offered a dram right out the barrel—Darkside keeps one aging in its spirits library.
But, if you’re a mahjong fanatic like me, the bar’s fabulously inventive “The Art of Mahjong” cocktail menu is a must-try. Taking inspiration from the beloved tile-based game, the bar’s eight star cocktails draw on Hong Kong’s rich food heritage: personal favourites of mine included the cognac-based Chrysanthemum for its floral profile, and the Winter, a rum-based cocktail that reminded me of the comforting sweet potato soup dessert that’s ever-so-popular in the city.
