Welcome to LUXE s home town, Hong Kong! This mile-a-minute metropolis still reigns supreme as Asia s predominant shopping, dining and style destination, where excess, success and 24 hr party times are always on the menu. What we don t know about HK ain t worth jack. Walk this way... In a city stacked with second-rate tailors, want to know where we get our shirts and suits made? How about an exquisitely fitted cheongsam handmade to order in original vintage 60s silk? Want to jet off for an adventure trek on a deserted beach with a private guide in fast pursuit craft, or a picnic on the South China Sea on a Batwing junk? How about helicoptering around the island or a private tour of the historic old streets? Fancy sampling the finest dim sum and modern Chinese cuisine, or the best private kitchen restaurants and world-class delicacies, from milk tea to Michelin? Want to copy your favourite Louboutins, design your own dinner service or embroidered bed linens? Roll over, kitten, we ve got tickles for you... LUXE Hong Kong. You won't go far Wong.
Nine years ago the founder of LUXE City Guides, Grant Thatcher, was at a party in Singapore. He was told that if he were ever to go to Bangkok, then he must be sure to take the several A4 pages that he was now being handed, as they contained the best insider knowledge on the city. Everybody, it seemed, loved this saucy list.
Grant looked at the list. It seemed familiar. It looked exactly like the list he had written for friends before he left Bangkok. Shut up, and get out of here! Dong! It's true. The rest, as they say, is history.
