Chef’s Room at Salisterra

Trading starched linens for kitchen-side stools, Chef’s Room is a newly minted, 10-seat studio tucked inside Salisterra led by culinary adviser Ricardo Chaneton that prioritises conversation over ceremony. The spring line-up kicks off with Max Levy’s “slow food” pizza residency (available every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from March 11 to May 1), followed by a weekend featuring Josh Boutwood of two-Michelin-starred Manila restaurant Helm in April.

Clan & Co. Lounge

After a series of successful pop-ups, the Magnolia Lab team has brought its herbal-led mixology to Tsim Sha Tsui. Located on the alfresco terrace of the Michelin-starred Épure, the newly minted Clan & Co. Lounge pairs French elegance with “Golden Era” Hong Kong nostalgia. The space features hand-painted signage and salvaged vintage woodcarvings, offering a cinematic backdrop for botanical cocktails. It is a thoughtful, craft-oriented retreat for those seeking local flavours without the Yau Ma Tei bustle.

Ponies on Parade

Central’s Tai Kwun is swapping police patrols for pony play. On March 15, trot over to the Parade Ground for an intimate meet-and-greet with a troupe of diminutive Shetland ponies, providing a rare, tactile slice of the countryside in the middle of the urban jungle. Priced at HK$80 for two, a ticket allots visitors a close-up encounter, photo ops with playful props, and a shopping voucher.

Capella at Galaxy Macau

At Capella’s newest outpost in Macau, discretion is the real indulgence: just 95 suites and penthouses, each with a private pool and 24-hour butler service. Deliberately intimate and thoroughly residential in feel, the property channels rainforest glamour through Paris-based interior design studio Moinard Bétaille’s “gilded jungle” concept and artful, hand-finished wall coverings by Hong Kong’s own Laura Cheung Wolf, of Lala Curio. Daily rituals including tea ceremonies and baijiu tastings offer a cultural counterpoint to Cotai’s casino energy.
