Hong Kong Parkview

Parkview is one of the high-​end residential buildings in Hong Kong, but it’s a lot more than that. It’s a whole different concept, it’s a home to those who live there and even to guests, it has a cozy feeling due to the care taken in everything from the design of the building and facilities to the furnishing to the staff employed in the management and club. Yesterday was my first time at the club and I was first impressed by the pieces of art displayed both in the tea area and upstairs (where there’s a museum that could qualify as any European museum), and the buffet that was being prepared, very simply laid out and looking so delicious. We sat down for half an hour in the comfy armchairs upstairs and finally tried the buffet — it’s got nothing to do with hyped buffets in Hong Kong… for a very reasonable price you could have anything you can think of: mussels, lobster, sushi and sashimi, assorted cold cuts, salad bar, fruit bar, hot dishes (lamb shanks, lamb and chicken curry, steamed fish, veggies…), noodles bar, pastries and breads of all kinds, foie gras, a dessert’s section and a fondue. And I’m sure I’ve missed something. I tried a little bit of everything and ended up extremely full, everything was scrumptious.
We headed to the library afterwards; what a nice, elegant and eclectic place it is. Browsing around the books and magazines we realized there were faces of famous singers in every shelf all around the library — we thought it was a great detail that shows freedom of expression and in turn makes you feel like you’re in a place where you can express yourself too. This is the overall conclusion that we reached in Parkview: it’s luxurious, but not pretentious at all. And it’s eclectic, functional and creative — if you like art I would say this is a must-​go for you.
