1. The Bar Leone x Louis Vuitton
Open to the public by reservation until March 15, the pop-up draws inspiration from Causeway Bay’s social history: specifically the Lee Gardens Hotel’s Yum Sing Bar, a popular destination for cocktails and live music from the 1970s to the 1990s.
The collaboration includes a menu of new, heritage-inspired beverages as well as a lantern display inside the Lee Garden One atrium, where 16 monogrammed lanterns reference the building’s original architectural design.
The store is a contemporary interpretation of Hong Kong’s retro style, featuring plush seating in the brand’s floral motif and warm, wooden finishes. The cocktail menu offers classics with a twist, featuring drinks such as the Lee Gardens Special, as well as a non-alcoholic Paris with a View.
