A nightlife guide to Hong Kong’s Art Week for an extra splash of colour with your drinks
After a day looking at artworks around town, you’ll probably be ready to relax and enjoy a tipple. From hotel bars to gallery bars to clubs, here are four recommended schedules for arty drinkers
Art Week has staked its claim as one of Hong Kong’s premier annual events, ranking up there with the Rugby Sevens, the Arts Festival and Clockenflap. What started life as a small contemporary art showcase has blossomed into a cultural cornerstone that locals and visitors can’t ignore.
But once the lights dim in the exhibition halls, what to do next? Here, we present four possible itineraries aimed at Art Week schmoozers.
FOR A NEARBY DRINK
You’re a mover and shaker, and you don’t have time for messing around. But in the interests of good art-world relations, drinks sometimes must be had. Here are the best spots for a quick tipple near the events.
Champagne Bar
Next door to the Convention Centre, the Grand Hyatt’s main bar is Art Basel’s premier see-and-be-seen spot, a classic hotel affair where the bubbly flows and live jazz is in the air. Order a bottle and soak in the luxe atmosphere.
