The Lounge & Bar | The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong

I’ve been here with completely zero expectations. My goal was just to enjoy the views and have a drink or a snack. However, plan changed as soon as we checked the menu and we realized how many good options are there. Everything went perfect, I think one of the best experience had so far. Thumbs up for the service, we felt welcomed and treated with kindness. Food was amazing and with generous portions! So curious to try their desserts, but it will be for our next time in HK. We were not guests of the hotel and we were coming from the M+ museum. This place is not super hard to find, but also not the easiest. Add an extra 10 minutes to your schedule just in case!

The atmosphere was wonderful, and the location offered a stunning view of Hong Kong's skyline—a truly beautiful place. The afternoon tea set was delightful overall, but there was a small issue with it during my visit. Thankfully, Carmen’s outstanding customer service truly shone. She was quick and professional in addressing the problem, and her exceptional service raised my trust in The Ritz-Carlton even more. She genuinely made my day. Thank you, Carmen!

The view of Victoria Harbour is top-notch. The Spanish main dishes are very delicious. In addition to their warm attitude, the restaurant staff prepared a special surprise for my wife's birthday, writing a handwritten birthday card and attaching our photo. Special thanks to Nurul and Devina. Highly recommended!

Beautifully designed restaurant that offers a stunning view the harbour, and city. We were seated in a great window spot that offered privacy and quiet away from other tables. However, I noticed our table hadn’t been properly cleaned before we were seated; there were food crumbs on our seats and scattered on the floor. Despite this, the staff were friendly and provided good service throughout our meal. The food, however, was not particularly impressive. The Hainanese chicken was average, and my truffle burger was quite disappointing. Of all the dishes we ordered, the salmon and chicken wings stood out as the best-tasting options.

Perched high atop Hong Kong Harbor, you'll find The Lounge & Bar by the Ritz-Carlton. The bar is sleek with deep red tones as well as blacks and browns. I wish I could report on the views, but there was a storm on the evening of our visit. The bartender was very skilled and met our every need. The waitstaff were superb and very attentive. I will visit again on my next trip to HK!

The bar is incredible and it is located at the highest point of the hotel. The views are incredible but you might need to check the wind. The food and cocktails are amazing and you can see the lights from the other shore. It is a great place to stay and the hotel has an incredible service too. This can be a very joyful spot for Business trips.

Gabrielle at the Ritz Carlton Lounge and Bar in Hong Kong was the definition of top tier hospitality. I have eaten at some truly beautiful places during my time in Hong Kong, but this experience was beyond level. The food was exceptional, the vibe was elevated, and that skyline view made the whole night feel cinematic. But what made it unforgettable was the service. I came back three more times, and that says everything. Gabrielle was outstanding in every way. She knew the menu inside and out, asked the right questions, and gave recommendations that were spot on. What I appreciated most was how intentional she was. If we wanted something a little different or more personal, she coordinated with the chef and the mixologist to create something unique that matched exactly what we were in the mood for. Every detail felt thoughtful. Every moment felt cared for. And I have to give credit to the manager on duty as well. You could feel the leadership in the room. Calm, attentive, present, and setting a standard that the whole team clearly lived up to. If you are in Hong Kong, do not overthink it. Make the reservation. Ask for the table overlooking the city. Then show up ready to be wowed at every sip, every bite, and every glance. Thank you, Gabrielle, and thank you to the team for making that day feel so special. I loved everything about it, and I cannot wait to be back.

I had a nice dining experience with the spectacular high-floor Victoria Harbour view, but depending on the weather if it's a cloudy or rainy day, you might see nothing but heavy clouds and fog. One minor thing for the window seat table, the sofa is a bit too far away from the table, which is perfect for tall people with enough leg room, but I (163cm) barely sit at the sofa edge which couldn't lean on the sofa back while I was eating. The food is as good as expected, I prefer the À la carte instead of an afternoon tea set, and their A La Carte menu offers many meal choices, which is very nice for someone who is not sugar craving.
