    Relax, refresh and indulge: your 180-minute Hong Kong transit guide

    Sumptuous dining, high-end shopping and refined lounges. Whether you’re travelling for business or leisure, here are the best ways to enjoy some me-time during your three-hour layover in Hong Kong.

    2. Go gourmet

    It’s time to rethink your idea of airport food: Hong Kong International Airport boasts an incredible array of fine cuisine, including 14 outposts of Michelin-acclaimed restaurant brands. Table for one? No problem at all. 

    If you're a fan of Tokyo’s Sushi Saito, you'll love its sister restaurant Sushi & Sake Bar Taka . Delight in Edomae sushi, sashimi and tempura dishes, made with ingredients flown in daily from Tokyo. The bar seating is perfect for solo diners who want to watch the chefs at work.

    Looking for a taste of Hong Kong? Be sure to stop by Duddell’s  for premium dim sum, or dine at Jardin de Jade  for regional Chinese fare.

    If you fancy a drink, Intervals Sky Bar & Restaurant  offers sweeping views of the runaways from the Sky Bridge. Sip your way through their signature cocktail flights and keep hunger at bay with a selection of pinchos inspired by international flavours.
