Is the rooftop bar worth it?

fmd_good West Hotel

Spent a week at the West Hotel in @HongKong. Rooms were slick, service impeccable, but the rooftop bar… man, the photos online looked amazing. I saw a few other guests heading up there but never act… more

Totally get it. West Hotel is seriously swanky, right? I've stayed there too. The rooftop bar...eh. Views are decent, Hong Kong skyline is pretty much always amazing from anywhere high up, you know? The cocktails were...fine. Not bad, just nothing special considering the price. Felt a bit like a scene from a movie, very curated and polished, but lacked some genuine vibe. So, worth it? Probably not unless you're obsessed with Instagrammable moments. There are way cooler, more authentic bars in the city with better drinks and a less "look at me" atmosphere. You wouldn't have missed much, honestly.

Check out the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens. It's pretty lush and tranquil, a nice escape from the city bustle. Or, if you want a caffeine fix with a view, wander up towards the Peak. There are some smaller cafes tucked away up there that offer stunning panoramas – less crowded than the main Peak Tower area. You might need to do a bit of exploring to find them, but that's half the fun! Happy travels!
