Triumphs With
Triple Wine
Accolades

New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel recently achieved a remarkable milestone in the second half of 2025, earning a trio of distinguished accolades that affirm its position as one of Hong Kong’s premier wine and dining destinations.

Wine.Luxe Magazine has recognised the hotel’s commitment to curating an exceptional wine programme, which conferred two prestigious honours. The Lounge was commended in the magazine’s Wine by the Glass Restaurant Award, cementing its status as one of the city’s most sought-after wine destinations. Meanwhile, the hotel’s acclaimed Chinese restaurant, Tao Li, was named among Hong Kong’s Top 10 Wine Pairing Restaurants (Asian Cuisine), a testament to its masterful integration of fine wines with refined Cantonese gastronomy.



The Lounge features a giant glass wine cabinet that takes centre stage at the “Vin et Vin” area within The Lounge, featuring a spiral staircase that descends into a modern, well-equipped cellar storing classic vintages, rare pours, and hidden gem boutique finds.

Adding to these local accolades, The Lounge also received international recognition, securing the Best of Award of Excellence at the Wine Spectator 2025 Restaurant Awards. Only 12 restaurants in Hong Kong achieved this distinction, underscoring the exceptional depth, quality and diversity of its wine collection.

These achievements reflect the hotel’s unwavering dedication to excellence and guest experience. Following its recent renovation, The Lounge has redefined itself as a chic and contemporary wine haven, offering an unparalleled journey for enthusiasts and casual connoisseurs. Its modern wine cellar houses more than 1,000 carefully selected old and new world labels, thoughtfully curated to deliver both quality and value. Complemented by a refined menu of Western and Asian light fare, afternoon tea sets and handcrafted desserts, the venue continues to elevate everyday moments into memorable experiences.

Equally commendable is Tao Li, which pairs panoramic views of Victoria Harbour with a sophisticated selection of Cantonese cuisine and dim sum. With 180 seats and five private dining rooms, the restaurant seamlessly blends tradition and originality, creating a dining experience that resonates with both local and international guests. Its recognition for wine pairing excellence speaks to the culinary team’s expertise and the hotel’s holistic approach to food and beverage excellence.


Tao Li is known for its elegant selection of dim sum and authentic Cantonese dishes that bring together traditional flavours and original presentation.

Together, these honours are more than just awards; they reflect the passion, craftsmanship and teamwork demonstrated daily by the hotel’s culinary, sommelier and service teams. They reinforce New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel’s standing as a benchmark for quality and innovation within the group and across the hospitality industry.

Let's extend our heartfelt congratulations to New World Millennium Hong Kong for this outstanding accomplishment!
