Félix

Über designer Philippe Starck’s most striking creation in Hong Kong is still wowing people many years after it opened. Felix restaurant and bar, near the top of the Peninsula hotel, looks fresh and continues to be one of the best places for early-evening cocktails, or when the urge for a Pacific Rim–inspired meal strikes. Controversially, unthinkably even, Starck opted to draw blinds over windows that had an absolutely stunning harbor view; instead of a full-on vista, there was merely a hint of the ocean and neon beyond. It worked. Big time.
