"The world's highest bar, 118 floors over Victoria Harbour — book sunset for Bryan Benitez's HK Skyline and a celebration toast."
About Ozone
One hundred and eighteen floors above Tsim Sha Tsui, the lift doors open onto Victoria Harbour spread out on three sides, and the altitude is the entire point. Ozone sits on the roof of the International Commerce Centre, inside The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, and trades in cocktails and Asian tapas rather than dinner. Bar manager Bryan Benitez runs the program; the signature pour is the HK Skyline, absinthe and a cap of Dom Pérignon foam, at HK$340, with most cocktails at HK$195. It opened in 2011 and carries a World's 50 Best Discovery listing.
The Bar
Ozone is a bar, not a restaurant, so the labels shift: Bryan Benitez, the bar manager, is the name to know rather than a chef. Benitez took the Luxury Hotel Champion title at the 2024 Marriott x Diageo Greater China mixologist competition and represented the Philippines at the Asia Pacific Cocktail Competition, and his menus are built on theatre as much as flavour. The current list, Neo Nexus, followed the long-running Five Elements menu. The signature is the HK Skyline — absinthe, citrus and a cap of Dom Pérignon foam — at HK$340, with most cocktails at HK$195 and the Ritz-Carlton's Secret Garden at HK$398.
The kitchen sends Asian tapas to match: dim-sum bites, robata skewers and sashimi, priced for sharing over drinks rather than as a meal. The address is the headline: the 118th floor of the International Commerce Centre, 1 Austin Road West, inside The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, 484 metres up. Ozone opened in 2011 and holds a World's 50 Best Discovery listing. Treat it as a destination cocktail bar with a competition-winning bartender behind the list, not a dinner table, and it does exactly what it promises.
The Room
The room is a dark glass-and-steel lounge that opens onto an outdoor terrace, and at night the city does the lighting. Sound climbs as the evening goes on: a DJ starts around 9pm Thursday to Saturday, so come early if conversation matters and late if it doesn't. Seating is lounge-style — low sofas, bar stools and terrace tables angled at the harbour — set for energy rather than privacy, with a smart-casual code that bars shorts and flip-flops after 5pm. It fills fast, and can feel packed by 10pm. The 360-degree view from 484 metres is the reason to time a table for sunset.
Best for a Celebration Drink
Book a sunset table for a celebration drink, an engagement toast, a milestone birthday or a client you want to leave speechless, because the room does the heavy lifting: the world's-highest-bar headline is a story in itself, the harbour at golden hour is the photograph, and Bryan Benitez's HK Skyline is the prop. Arrive forty minutes before sunset for the light, order the Skyline first, and move to the terrace as the DJ starts. Eat dinner downstairs at Tin Lung Heen or Tosca di Angelo first.

Not for
Not for dinner — it is a cocktail bar with sharing snacks, not a kitchen, and the food and HK$195 cocktails are priced for the altitude, not the plate.
Frequently Asked
Is Ozone worth it?
As a once-in-a-trip destination bar, yes, with the right expectations. You are paying for the highest bar in the world, a 360-degree harbour view from 484 metres, and a competition-winning bartender in Bryan Benitez, not for dinner. Cocktails from HK$195 and the HK Skyline at HK$340 are priced for the altitude. Come for a sunset drink, eat downstairs at Tin Lung Heen, and the value makes sense.
How hard is it to book Ozone?
Sunset and weekend slots are the competitive ones. Reservations run through SevenRooms or the Ritz-Carlton dining line on +852 2263 2270, and the hour before sunset goes first, so book a week or two ahead. Walk-ins can usually find space on the terrace earlier in the evening or midweek. It sits on the 118th floor of the ICC, 1 Austin Road West.
What is the dress code at Ozone?
Smart-casual, with a firm no on shorts, flip-flops and sportswear after 5pm. It is a special-occasion sky bar inside The Ritz-Carlton, so a collared shirt or a dress fits the room, though a jacket is not required. Think high-end hotel bar rather than a beach lounge and you will be dressed right for the 118th floor.
What should I order at Ozone?
Start with the signature HK Skyline for the absinthe-and-Dom-Pérignon-foam theatre, then work through the current Neo Nexus list. From the kitchen, the dim-sum bites and robata skewers are the Asian tapas to share, priced for grazing over drinks rather than a full meal. Order a couple of plates per round and keep the focus on the cocktails and the harbour.
Is Ozone good for a first date?
Yes, for a drinks date with a view that does the talking. The harbour panorama starts the conversation, the cocktails are theatrical, and the lounge is more relaxed than a sit-down dinner. The caveat is the DJ and the crowd after 9pm, so time it for early evening if you want to hear each other. See more options in our first-date restaurants guide.
