Top choice in Wan Chai & Northeast Hong Kong Island


Enviable East Island views are the drawcard at this stylish terrace bar atop designer business hotel East. With signature peach mojito in hand, take in the prosperity: the glass towers of Taikoo Pl to the west, the Kai Tak cruise terminal (formerly the old airport runway) in the bay in front. Reserve a table for Thursday to Saturday evenings.
