New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel’s The Lounge has reopened after a five-month renovation, revealing an inviting and versatile space for social gatherings, business conversations or quiet respite. An innovative wine programme, with new cellar and revamped wine selection at exceptional value prices, create an oenophile’s dream destination in the evening hours.

The opening was celebrated on 20 September at The Lounge and Vin et Vin Wine Cellar at the hotel. The evening-to-remember began with welcome speeches from Dato Gan and Mr. Julian Wipper, our hotel’s general manager. Dato Gan then sabered a bottle of Champagne in front of more than 120 special guests. This marked the official debut of the exciting, versatile venue which offers a wide wine selection of rare pours and classic vintages at exceptional prices.

Assistant Director of Food and Beverage, also the Chief Sommelier, Mr Sam Chong (centre) and his team of wine gurus have meticulously sourced classic vintages, rare pours and hidden gem boutique finds from around the world.

The sparkling wining and dining experience that followed included the savouring of newly unveiled wine and snack menus, live band music and personal tours of the Vin et Vin private cellar, home to more than 1,000 fine wine labels hand-picked by our sommeliers. Wine connoisseurs and lovers enjoyed great exchanges with our knowledgeable wine team throughout the night.


During the day, The Lounge is bathed in natural light with floor-to-ceiling windows, lending a tranquil and elegant experience with contemporary chandeliers and camellia-patterned carpet.
