The Drawing Room and The Terrace The captivating ambience at The Drawing Room transforms from day to night along with its spectrum of offerings. The Drawing Room will serve a fresh, seasonal menu of international dishes throughout the day. Afternoon Tea is served at 5:30pm, the St. Regis Champagne Sabering ritual will also take place. The St. Regis Bar Patron of the Arts The St. Regis Bar is an intimate haven discreetly tucked away next to the Drawing Room and Terrace. Signature cocktails evoke a tale of two cities with New York’s subway and Hong Kong’s tram, both launched in 1904, the same year that the St. Regis New York was founded, providing the inspiration for 14 unique cocktails, including the classic Bloody Mary, first invented at St. Regis New York and a Hong Kong curated Canto Mary. The St. Regis Hong Kong features carefully curated art works including paintings and sculptures by talented international artists throughout the hotel. The St. Regis Bar mural was thoughtfully conceptualised by Beijing- born Zhang Gong to communicate the strong narrative of Hong Kong’s past and present, expressed with a selected colour palette and special painting techniques. The St. Regis Bar mural takes centre stage and depicts the historical and cultural elements of Wan Chai. The artist’s main inspiration was Hong Kong’s rich history, its people, colonial past and natural landscape. In conclusion, the mural is a true depiction of Hong Kong’s history, cultural, natural resources and its special characteristics. It also highlights symbolic elements unique to the city, reflecting its past and present, and its blend of Chinese and Western cultures presented in a lively way.
