The Return of a Harborfront Icon: Regent Hong Kong

This hotel’s not exactly new, but reborn. First opened as The Regent in 1980, for the last two decades this pillar of Hong Kong social life was an InterContinental Hotel.

The Lobby Lounge returns as the place to see, be seen and meet up, maximizing views while offering afternoon tea both Chinese and Western, as well as Regent’s famous day-to-evening champagne ritual. Its Cantonese restaurant has reverted to its original, revered name – while picking up two new Michelin stars.
