Grand Opening of Qura Bar at Regent Hong Kong

A Journey Through Design

Embark on a unique sensory journey at Qura, envisioned by BAR Studio. The design mirrors ‘The Curator’s’ eclectic taste and worldly explorations, featuring a whimsical collection of furniture and decorative items lovingly curated over two years. Qura comprises an interlinked drawing room, bar, dining lounge, and cigar spaces, all with spectacular views of Victoria Harbour, evoking the allure of a bygone era.

An exploration through its curated spaces reveals a collection of found and carefully restored furniture, vintage and antique objects with authentic details and patinas, alongside Art Deco elements and custom-designed furnishings that add modern sophistication. Transitioning from warm tones and rich velvets to cooler hues, each space is adorned with bursts of color and intriguing objets d’art, such as a whimsical emerald green parrot lamp, quirky table lamps with monkeys holding parasols, and gilded monkey pirate sconces. In the arrival area and corridor, large vintage photos from the original Regent Hong Kong days recall the rich heritage of this exclusive venue. Art Deco-inspired portals guide guests through Qura, celebrating global cultures and eras with mesmerizing views of Victoria Harbour.

Art Deco Elegance

The heart of Qura features a backlit rose quartzite bar, adorned with hand blown Murano crystal lighting fixtures and decorative textiles, creating an atmosphere of bold fantasy. The dining lounge showcases a quirky Timorous Beastie wallcovering with playful iguanas, evoking an exotic tropical rainforest, while hand blown Venini Murano chandeliers ramp up the glamour as diners enjoy the hypnotic harbor views.

Exploring the World of Spirits

Qura offers a bespoke collection of rare spirits and wines. Highlights include ‘Uniting Nations #3’, a blend of Japanese and Scottish whisky traditions, ‘Ferrand Distilled Before 1914’, and ‘Foursquare Shibboleth’, a 16-year-old Barbados Single Blended Rum. The ‘Fiona Macleod 33-Year Old’ and ‘Jose Arechabala Ron Blanco Arecha’ from the 1960s are rare collector’s items. The ‘Collector Gin #001’ showcases global botanicals, embodying The Curator’s spirit of exploration. These spirits are not just beverages but stories in bottles, brought from the farthest corners of the world to Hong Kong.
