Located at the top floor that offers a birds-eye view of the city, the ultra-sleek minimalist interior of the hotel, with touches of gild and gold that oozes a subtle opulence, sets the scene for a swanky afternoon tea that the locals so enjoy. Currently serving their Festive Afternoon Tea, the tiers consist of a collection of dainty pastries and bite-sized desserts, with flavours and visuals that are very much Christmas-themed.

Victoria Harbour

One thing to know is that you’ve never been to the city if you’ve never stepped foot in Victoria Harbour. The harbour is definitely the top tourist attraction in the city, with tourists flocking the dockside in pursuit of surreal views of the island’s skyline, be it day or night. It is more than its waterfront appeal, the urban village has new parks, state-of-art malls and museums, and even a giant Ferris wheel at the Central Waterfront Promenade.
To properly bask in the beauty of the city, hop on the iconic red antique Chinese junk boat, cruise about the harbour, and get an up-close view of the dazzling ‘Symphony of Lights’ light and sound show.
