Best hotel restaurants in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year Fireworks Dinners

If you’re in Hong Kong on January 29th make sure you have a room with a view – of Victoria Harbour for the Chinese New Year fireworks. Here’s our lucky number eight for firework dinners:

Kowloon side:

The Intercontinental

View of the fireworks in the harbour from the Intercontinental hotel

The Interconti is perched right on the harbour’s edge so many of the guest rooms have fantastic views as well as the Harbourside restaurant and Nobu if you can bag a window table. Both restaurants are offering a Chinese New Year Fireworks Dinner Menu.

The Peninsula

The Pen is offering a special set dinner at each of the hotel’s restaurants on 29th January. Each dining experience includes an exclusive invitation to view the Chinese New Year fireworks from The Peninsula’s Sun Terrace, where guests can enjoy views of Victoria Harbour with a complimentary glass of champagne.

Many of the rooms have dizzying views of the harbour (check you are facing the right way) but perhaps the best is from Tosca the hotel’s Italian fine dining restaurant.  On January 29th Tosca is holding a Chinese New Year dinner between 6 pm – 10:30 pm (the fireworks starts at 8pm) for HK$2,180 (plus 10% service charge) per guest.

Island side:
