Hong Kong: Cocktails at Ozone – The world’s highest rooftop bar
On a previous trip to Hong Kong, I had the pleasure of meeting up with M who lives in Hong Kong. First, the plan was to go for a coffee, but as I returned a little later than expected from the Big Buddha sightseeing trip, we decided to meet for cocktails at Ozone instead. I’m usually not very happy about my phone carrier, but here in Hong Kong, they offer free data roaming, which is great. I was therefore able to chat with M about the change of plans while running GoogleMaps and Instagram, all at the same time. Absolutely brilliant!
Ozone is on the 118th floor at Ritz Carlton in the ICC Tower right on the West Kowloon waterfront. It is the highest rooftop bar in the world, and even though it was a bit hazy when we were there, the view was still amazing. Ozone had a whole page in the drink menu dedicated to different versions of Gin & Tonic, and I had one with orange peel, which was excellent, and came in a glass the size of a fishbowl.
Drinks at Ozone don’t come cheap, but considering that 1) The drinks are huge, 2) There’s no cover charge and 3) The views are among the best in Asia, it was definitely worth it. The surroundings were magnificent and the staff attentive and nice. I also really like that Ozone didn’t have that touristy, Kodak-moment vibe, which most other sky bars have (Sky Bar Bangkok, I’m looking at you). As a matter of fact, I think I was the only one there with a camera.
I really had a pleasant time, and it was so nice to meet M and her friend. Later on, we went for a tasty hotpot dinner at Budaoweng, but I’ll write more about that in another blog post. Thank you, M for introducing me to this wonderful bar in Hong Kong!
