A Luxurious Retreat at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong - A Hotel and Culinary Experience to Remember
Our vacation at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong Hotel (Harbour View) was an absolute delight and left us filled with happiness. This 5-star luxury hotel, located in the heart of Wanchai, is truly one of the best in Hong Kong.
Accommodation: We had the pleasure of staying in a 40-square-meter King Bed Harbour View room, which provided us with breathtaking vistas of Victoria Harbour.
The bedroom was both cozy and comfortable, featuring a plush king-size bed with a Hotel Pillow Menu for customized comfort. A sofa couch by the window allowed us to enjoy the mesmerizing view, and a dining table was thoughtfully set up with a welcome fruit basket.
In-room amenities included a 55-inch television with over 40 TV and audio channels, a Nespresso coffee machine, a tea selection, a minibar, and complimentary bottled water. The bathroom featured a separate bathtub and toilet, complete with all the necessary amenities.
Recreation: One of the highlights of our stay was the 50-meter-long swimming pool located on the 11th floor, which is the longest swimming pool in Hong Kong. The pool area provided a serene ambiance, perfect for both swimming and relaxation. 24 Hrs. fitness room with full exercise equipment.
Dining: Grand Hyatt Hong Kong boasts eleven restaurants and bars offering a diverse range of cuisines, including Chinese, Italian, Japanese, and international options. We highly recommend dining at One Harbour Road, located on the 8th floor, where we savored authentic Cantonese cuisine.
Executive Chinese Chef Chan Hon-cheong skillfully combined tradition with innovation, resulting in a delectable dining experience. The ever-changing seasonal set menu was a culinary journey in itself, and the restaurant's ambiance allowed us to enjoy both the harbor view and the Symphony of Lights show during our dinner.

Exploring the City: After our temple visit, we explored the vibrant streets of Hong Kong, including Hollywood Road Central. Our night culminated in a visit to "Penicillin Bar," which is known for its sustainable cocktails and delicious snacks and finger food such as cheesy french-fried, deep fried chicken.
PENICILLIN is Hong Kong’s first sustainable bar that champions a closed-loop model of production. With a focus on either locally sourced or up-cycled food and drink ingredients, PENICILLIN’s bar menu finds innovation in the true flavours of Hong Kong while constantly looking for ways to minimize carbon footprint.
PENICILLIN bar undertakes scientific research, experimentation, and multiple trials and errors to achieve sustainability breakthroughs in the waste-heavy food & beverage industry – portrayed by the installation of The Penicillin Lab and The Fermentation Chamber by COLLECTIVE.
The ultimate mission of PENICILLIN is to become Hong Kong’s first “scrap-less” bar – in other words, a bar that produces minimal waste by the end of the night. Prabowo, Ghale, and their dedicated team pour endless creativity into the ways common waste or kitchen by-products can be recycled and upcycled, while simultaneously self-brewing, fermenting, growing, and re-using ingredients to be used in cocktails. Ingredients including botanicals are all sourced locally within Hong Kong, with PENICILLIN going a step further to minimize transport distance in order to conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions.
