Nine hotel bars in Hong Kong, including three on the 50 Best world list and four on Asia's 50 Best.

The Four Seasons bar that launched Lorenzo Antinori's career continues to operate at an elite level under its current team, holding No. 37 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026 and No. 25 on The 50 Best Bars 2026, up from No. 56 on the 51-100 list in 2025. The program leans into luxury hotel resources, rare spirits, pristine ice programs, service choreography that borders on theatrical, without losing the personality that distinguishes Argo from every other five-star lobby pour. Floor-to-ceiling harbor views frame a cocktail experience that justifies both the setting and the price point. It won Best International Hotel Bar at the 2026 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards.

The Rosewood Hong Kong's flagship bar occupies a harborfront position in Tsim Sha Tsui that would justify complacency, but Darkside refuses to coast. A whisky-forward program runs alongside live jazz in a space designed by Tony Chi, where moody lighting and plush furnishing create the kind of atmosphere that encourages a second drink before the first is finished. The bar's Kowloon-side location gives it perspective on Hong Kong's skyline that Central bars cannot replicate. Darkside trades on mood as much as mixology, and the mood is immaculate. Hong Kong's cocktail scene carries a confidence in 2026 that comes from hosting the world's biggest bar award and winning it. The city's trajectory points toward greater diversity, neighborhood bars alongside palace hotels, sustainable programs alongside rare spirit collections, Hemingway-inspired veterans alongside zero-waste pioneers. Every flight into Chek Lap Kok lands you closer to the world's best drinking.

The intimate bar on the Four Seasons Hong Kong's sixth floor, adjoining the three-Michelin-starred French restaurant Caprice. Its signature 'Illusion' menu is nine cocktails engineered to mimic wine styles, Champagne, White Burgundy, First Growth Bordeaux, each named after a Hong Kong district, from Sai Ying Pun to Victoria Peak, largely without wine as the base. Imported French cheeses and caviar service round out the offer.

One of the bars and restaurants of the Island Shangri-La hotel at Pacific Place. It is listed among the hotel's current dining venues alongside the Lobby Lounge, Restaurant Petrus, Ming Pavilion and Summer Palace.

An outdoor rooftop sky bar on the 15th floor of the Dorsett Kai Tak hotel in Kowloon, blending Asian cultural inspiration with modern sophistication. The current cocktail menu is themed 'A Timeless Hong Kong Tale', backed by shareable bar bites, harbor-and-skyline views and a nightly Sunset Hours drinks special from 5pm.

Qura Bar is the flagship bar of Regent Hong Kong on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, arranged as a drawing-room lounge, a main bar, a dining lounge and a cigar room facing Victoria Harbour. The space mixes Art Deco and vintage details, and the list covers cocktails, aged and rare spirits and wines, with food served until late. A smart casual dress code applies.

The St. Regis Bar sits beside The Drawing Room and Astor Terrace in The St. Regis Hong Kong in Wan Chai. Its fourteen signature cocktails draw on New York's subway and Hong Kong's tramline, both launched in 1904, the year the first St. Regis opened in New York, and the list includes the Canto Mary, a local Bloody Mary with dried tangerine peel, soy sauce and five-spice. Bar bites are served alongside.
Sugar is the rooftop bar and terrace on the 32nd floor of the EAST Hong Kong hotel in Taikoo Shing, with views over Victoria Harbour. It serves original cocktails and Asian-inspired sharing plates to an after-work crowd, and recommends booking for sunset and weekends.
The Doctor's Residence is the successor to Dr. Fern's Gin Parlour, which closed in the Landmark basement in early 2025 and reopened about six months later on the third floor of The Pottinger Hong Kong. The room is styled as the fictional doctor's 1970s home, with psychedelic wallpaper and lava lamps, and the bar keeps the old idea of cocktails prescribed to patients. A DJ plays on Fridays and live music on Saturdays; Dr. Fern's was No. 48 on Asia's 50 Best Bars in 2017.
