With a new Central location and a repositioning of its existing Tsim Sha Tsui site, Carlyle & Co. expands its presence in the city through a dual-club concept shaped by design, programme and community.
Carlyle & Co. will open a second location in Hong Kong this June, marking its fifth anniversary with an expansion into Central. The new Carlyle & Co. Town Club occupies 18,000 sq. ft. at New World Tower, while the original Tsim Sha Tsui site will be renamed Carlyle & Co. Harbour Club. Together, the two spaces establish a complementary framework—one grounded in the city’s commercial centre, the other positioned as a more elevated, harbour-facing destination.
The design approach reflects this distinction. Town Club is conceived as a compact, urban environment, organised around a series of dining and social spaces. Three restaurant concepts anchor the offering: Chez Nous, serving contemporary French cuisine; Teak House, focused on Southeast Asian flavours; and Yakumo, a ten-seat Japanese kaiseki counter. Each venue adopts a distinct spatial identity, with an emphasis on material contrast and atmosphere.
Specialist rooms further define the layout. The Cave, dedicated to wine, houses over 500 labels within a cellar-like setting, while Whisky Box presents a more enclosed environment for rare spirits. The Alcoves, a collection of four private rooms, are designed for small-scale gatherings, integrating dining and entertainment functions within more intimate settings.
Across the harbour, Harbour Club extends over 25,000 sq. ft. and three levels, including an outdoor terrace. Its programme includes multiple dining and bar concepts, lounges, a library, and private facilities such as a barber and tailor. The spatial planning prioritises openness and views, with interiors arranged to support both larger social settings and quieter, more enclosed areas.
A central feature of Harbour Club is Café Carlyle, which hosts a regular programme of live performances spanning genres such as jazz, soul and cabaret. The venue draws on the legacy of its New York counterpart while adapting its scale and atmosphere to Hong Kong.
Eight private suites, located on the upper floors, provide overnight accommodation for members and guests. Each is named after figures associated with The Carlyle in New York, referencing the broader heritage that informs the club’s identity.
Membership continues to operate under a single structure, granting access to both locations. Applications require endorsement from an existing member and are subject to approval by a membership committee.
