Big city lights
Dear globetrotting hearts, in case you’ve been stuck under a rock and missed the memo, LUXE has partnered up with Singapore Airlines to bring you a monthly travel column on their brand new silverkris.com website as well as the inflight mag (which can also be viewed in full online), and share how to spend 24 LUXE hours in some of our favourite cities.
This month, we turn the spotlight on LUXE’s home city, Hong Kong, for a round-the-clock sensory adventure. Whether you’re in search of Michelin-starred fine diners or hawker stalls, the latest designer fashion or bargain-priced samples, art and culture or the great outdoors, Hong Kong packs it all in, and we’ve compiled our faves into a neat one-day itinerary especially for you, Leggy Lovely.
What’s more, silverkris.com readers get an exclusive promo code to score 15% off LUXE guides and boxsets. Get ready, jet set, go!

From zero to go, Hong Kong has seen a remarkable proliferation of alfresco bars since smoking was banned inside venues nearly 18 months ago. Anyone who’s been to Asia in the summer will know however, that humidity, martinis and those wispy Derek Lam crepe de chine numbers (hello, clingy!) simply do not go together. The clued-in cocktail clique know that the time to go lounging in the open is in autumn and even winter, and this year, there’s a bevy (geddit) of eye-popping new spots to try, from sky-high terraces with sock-knocking views, to expansive decks nestled in the middle of the bustling metropolis.

We love a win-win situation and Hong Kong’s ban on smoking inside bars and clubs earlier in the year has accelerated the opening of stylish rooftop and terrace venues, most with eye-popping views and settings to match, in a city that had, until recently, been sadly lacking. So, no more smoke in your eyes or smell lingering in your Brioni or Alexander Wang, and even more places to get merry under the stars. Here’s our pick of the crop.
