Murray Lane
While The Murray, Hong Kong, A Niccolo Hotel first opened its doors back in January, a number of its other facilities, including the spa, ballroom and some F&B facilities, only fully launched in February. The hotel’s new lobby bar Murray Lane focuses on premium spirits, wines, and craft beers, as well as signature cocktails from its The Tape and The Cassia lists – the former taking its name from the hotel’s “Wall Street” neighbourhood and the latter from the heritage Cassia Javanica tree on the hotel’s grounds. Open Sunday to Thursday, 7:30am to 12:00am; Friday to Saturday, 7:30am to 1:00am.
Saffron Sky Garden
Perched on the 52nd floor of the Banyan Tree Bangkok is a brand new alfresco garden lounge, Saffron Sky Garden, one of the highest outdoor sky gardens in the city. The tranquil setting offers stunning views over the city for after-work drinks with Thai street food-inspired dishes or an intimate dinner, and there’s also an alfresco terrace with views over the Chao Phraya River. Open 5pm-1am daily.
Tiger Den
Enjoy a last sip of Singapore’s famous beer brand at the new dedicated outlet in Changi Airport’s Terminal 4, located on level 2 of the departure transit area. Patrons can also indulge in hawker-style dishes while enjoying the hand-painted street-art interior. Open 24 hours.
Please Don’t Tell
Iconic “secret” New York Bar PDT has opened up its first permanent international outpost in Hong Kong’s Landmark Mandarin Oriental following the success of its pop-up branch in 2016. Guests reach the intimate venue through an entrance disguised as a phone booth to enjoy creative cocktails developed by mixologists Jim Meehan and Jeff Bell, along with bar snacks.
