Hong Kong Luxe: Where to Stay, Eat and Drink in Ultimate Style
There's a version ofHong Kongthat only the clued-in get to experience. A city of sky-high rooftop lounges, multi-sensory degustation menus, harbour-facing penthouse suites, and experiences so discreet you have to know, to know. If you're curating a trip that leans more elevated escape than quick layover, this is your entry point. Hong Kong is levelling up in 2025 — this is how to do it right. There's no shortage of five-star hotels in Hong Kong, but the secret is finding those that offer more than just marble lobbies and city views. AtThe Upper House, on Hong Kong Island, serenity is the real amenity. Designed to feel more like a private residence than a hotel, its rooms feature natural timber and stone exteriors, with windows that overlook Victoria Harbour and deep bathtubs built for soaking in the skyline. Over the other side of the harbour, in Tsim Sha Tsui,Rosewood Hong Kongcontinues to redefine contemporary luxury. Eleven restaurants and bars, a next-gen wellness center and personalised butler service make it the epitome of indulgence. Book the Grand Harbour Corner Suite for something truly special. Then there'sThe Peninsula, the city's original 'grande dame.' Vaulted ceilings, its own Rolls-Royce fleet and a Roman-style pool that faces Hong Kong Island keep it in a league of its own. For something newly revitalised, theRegent Hong Kongis back after a major redesign, bringing 129 luxurious suites and a renewed focus on service. Each of these stays offers bespoke services, comfort and amenities that'll make it hard to check out upon your departure. If you're after once-in-a-lifetime experiences, Hong Kong awaits. Start on the water with a private yacht charter around the islands. Operators like Lazydays or Breakaway offer fully catered day cruises with omakase chef experiences, bespoke itineraries and luxury vessels. Time your sail with golden hour for a surreal view of the city. If you'd rather view from the sky, several luxury hotels — including The Peninsula — offer helicopter transfers and exclusive sightseeing flights directly from their rooftops, making the journey just as luxurious as the destination. And for those who want to dial things up, consider booking the André Fu Suite at The Upper House for sophisticated, private fine dining, or a wine tasting experience at one of Rosewood's premium dining venues. There's no such thing as a bad meal in Hong Kong, but there is such a thing as a next-level one. AtWING, Chef Vicky Cheng's modern Chinese tasting menus are carefully crafted. Ranked 20th on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, the fine dining restaurant reimagines nostalgic Chinese flavours with obsessive attention to detail. On a quiet corner of Sheung Wan,Racinesbrings modern French finesse to the table with a seven or nine-course dinner menu built around seasonal elegance and impeccable plating. Helmed by chef Romain Dupeyre, dining here feels intimate, thoughtful, and quietly confident. For something with fewer frills but just as much flavour, head to Yat Lok for its legendary roast goose. The skin crackles, the queues wrap around the corner, and the Michelin star speaks for itself. Sometimes luxury arrives on a plastic tray, rather than white linen. If a drink with a view is non-negotiable, start atOzone, the world's highest bar perched atop the Ritz-Carlton. But if you're more interested in flavour than floor level,ARGOat the Four Seasons is the place to go. Its concept focuses on innovation, with unique spirits and cocktails that read like a design experiment. Down in Soho, Bar Leone brings Rome to Hong Kong with cracking cocktails and a warm, neighbourhood vibe. It's earned the title ofAsia's Best Bartwice, yet carries itself with casual ease. There are theatrics here, just happy locals and excellent drinks. For something more exciting, suss out the Social Club Series. A favorite amongst the city's 'it' crowd, these pop-ups are an evolving mix of daytime parties with curated music and secret locations. No matter the location, the energy is always high and you can walk away early without a hangover. If you're looking to immerse yourself in Hong Kong's cultural scene, you're spoilt for choice. What makes this city truly exceptional is how seamlessly tradition and experimentation coexist, often within the same the museum of visual culture in West Kowloon, expect bold exhibitions that span design, moving image, digital media, conceptual art and photography — all within a striking Herzog & de Meuron-designed space that's become a creative hub for the region. A short ride across the harbour,Tai Kwunrepurposes the city's Former Central Police Station Compound into a cultural destination. Part heritage site, part open-air gallery, it's the perfect hosting space for exhibitions, performances, screenings and installations. There's alsoPMQ, which has long championed emerging design with fashion labels, artisans and concept stores hidden throughout its immense corridors. And for something immersive, Xiqu Centre offers a sensory deep dive into Cantonese opera and Chinese theatre in a venue equally as impressive as the performances. Round things off atThe Peak. Yes, it's a popular landmark for tourists. Yes, it's busy. But as the sun sets and the city lights up below, it still earns a place on any curated itinerary — especially when you see it as a kind of living, breathing art gallery. Hong Kong is a city that never stops evolving and where luxury is as much about knowledge as it is about access. Whether you're here for a week or a long layover, this is the version of Hong Kong worth exploring.

Tourism Ministry denies confirming November 4 as opening date for Grand Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has denied reports claiming that November 4 was officially set as the opening date for the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). It explained that the official opening date of the GEM will be announced in due course through official channels. The ministry urged media outlets to verify the accuracy of published information and to refer to official sources before circulating any news related to this important event, which has received widespread local and international attention. The Ministry of Tourism announced in a statement that the official opening of GEM, which was scheduled for July 3, has been postponed 'Out of the Egyptian state's national responsibility and its commitment to presenting an exceptional global event in an atmosphere befitting the greatness of Egyptian civilization and its unique heritage, ensuring broad international participation commensurate with the significance of the event.' The statement noted that a new date for the museum's official opening will be set during the last quarter of this year, to be announced in due course, after coordination with all relevant authorities to ensure the organization of an event befitting Egypt's tourism and cultural standing on the international stage. The GEM is one of the world's most important cultural projects. Located just minutes from the Giza Pyramids, it houses more than 100,000 artifacts from various eras. It is designed to be the largest museum in the world housing artifacts from a single civilization. Egypt aims to attract three million tourists upon its opening.

Arizona governor tours wildfire destruction along Grand Canyon North Rim
Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs on Saturday toured the destruction caused by a wildfire along the Grand Canyon's North Rim, surveying what she described as devastating damage, Hobbs called for an investigation into the handling of the blaze. The governor, who sought to gather information ahead of her meetings with federal officials next week, looked intently out the window as the Black Hawk helicopter she was riding snaked over the Grand Canyon. White smoke emerged from the North Rim, and most of the Grand Canyon Lodge was whittled to a bare skeleton, though some of the building appeared intact from overhead. Some surrounding trees were no more than charred toothpicks on the ashen land. Whiffs of smoky air passed through the helicopter. The wildfire was sparked by a lightning strike on July 4. The National Park Service four days later said it was being allowed to burn to benefit the land as part of a 'confine and contain' strategy that the Grand Canyon National Park has leaned on for decades to clear dense vegetation, minimize future risk and make the ecosystem more resilient. But a week after the ignition, blustery winds, hot temperatures and lower humidity quickly intensified the flames, prompting officials to shift their efforts to aggressive suppression and order evacuations. The blaze has charred more than 18 square miles (46 square kilometers). As of Saturday, it is eight percent contained. No injuries had been reported, but the wildfire on the canyon's less-frequented North Rim destroyed more than 70 structures, including a visitors center, historic cabins and the nearly century-old Grand Canyon Lodge. After touching ground, Hobbs visited the incident command post for the Dragon Bravo fire. Lined with trailers and dotted with yurts and tents, the fire camp currently houses more than 800 personnel who have come from various federal, state and local entities and independent contracting vendors to help fire suppression efforts. The camp functions similar to a tiny town. She shook hands with members of the crew in the mess hall and met with officials including those from Grand Canyon National Park, the Department of Interior and the National Park Service. She said she was encouraged to hear that mitigation is a priority for the federal government. 'This is federal jurisdiction, but fire doesn't know that boundary, and we all have to work together,' Hobbs said. The governor has called for an investigation into why the park service did not immediately put out the flames during the hottest and driest period of Arizona's summer. Bipartisan members of Arizona's congressional delegation also have questioned the decision. Hobbs said she is not second-guessing the decision to use the 'confine and contain' strategy at the outset of the fire. 'I think we need to look at, after we get this fire managed, what went into the decision making and if there what were missteps, how we learn from that,' she said Saturday. The park service has defended its actions. Hobbs will meet with leadership in the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Department of the Interior about their decisions in managing the wildfire this upcoming week. She said in a video statement Wednesday that she hasn't seen any indication that a lack of federal resources are to blame for any problems. Last month, President Donald Trump ordered government officials to consolidate wildland firefighting into a single program, despite warnings from former federal officials that it could be costly and increase the risk of catastrophic blazes. The North Rim is closed for the rest of the season along with a pair of campgrounds near the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon. ___ The Associated Press' women in the workforce and state government coverage receives financial support from Pivotal Ventures.
