Looking for your next go-to bar? Hong Kong’s cocktail scene is about to get a major shake-up, as Rosewood Hong Kong has recently revealed its plan to launch a new bar concept later this year. What makes this announcement exciting is that the upcoming bar will be developed exclusively for the hotel with the help of Lorenzo Antinori and Justin Shun Wah, the names behind Bar Leone, which was named The World’s 50 Best Bar in 2025 and maintains the Best Bar in Hong Kong 2026 title for the 3rd year in a row.
The project is slated to open in November 2026, bringing together two heavyweight names in luxury hospitality and cocktails. On one side is Rosewood Hong Kong, which topped The World’s 50 Best Hotels rankings in both 2025 and 2026. On the other is Bar Leone, the neighborhood bar that has quickly become one of the industry's biggest success stories.
For now, details about the venue remain under wraps. Rosewood has only described the concept as "an exciting new chapter for cocktail culture in Hong Kong," leaving cocktail enthusiasts to speculate about what the duo and the hotel has in store.
The hotel has already kicked off a teaser campaign on Instagram for those who want a glimpse of the upcoming project ahead of its official unveiling.
More information is expected to arrive in late October according to the post, so keep an eye on Rosewood Hong Kong's Instagram for sneak peeks and upcoming announcements.
