7 popular nightclubs in Hong Kong where you can drink champagne or samovar all night

Hong Kong has more great clubs than most cities in Asia, and the city’s cosmopolitan character and youthful spirit, coupled with an influx of young expats, means that no matter how fast and energetic Hong Kong may be during the day, things take a turn for the better when the sun goes down.

With late opening hours, the room-filling music rocking bars and clubs around Lan Kwai Fong in Central, and hard-to-find basement dance floors filling up with house and techno, the city’s most popular nightclubs are where you’ll find the latest techno hits. Whether you want to spend the night drinking champagne or samovar, Hong Kong’s most popular clubs have you covered.

6. OZONE, The Ritz-Carlton, Kowloon



Feature: Nightlife

OZONE at The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong is more of a lounge bar than a nightclub, with a good spot in the indoor area to enjoy the relaxed, minimal house music played by the live DJ, which will make you sway along with the rhythm.

Most people go to the rooftop area on the 118th floor, but since there are only two panes of glass and limited seating, we prefer the futuristic design and high-end audio equipment indoors. OZONE is a good place to find a balance between a loud nightclub and a high-end cocktail bar.

Location: The Ritz-Carlton, 118/F, Global Trade Plaza, 1 Austin Road West, Kowloon, Hong Kong
Opening hours: Monday to Thursday 17:00 - 01:00, Friday 17:00 - 02:00, Saturday 15:00 - 02:00, Sunday 12:00 - 00:00
