"This hip bar, perched 118 floors up at the top of the International Commerce Centre (ICC) building in the Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong , claims to be the highest bar in the world, and it sure feels like it. And it’s not only way up there, it’s way out there. Sunday brunches may begenteel, but at night, the bar's lighting is a retina-strainingmélange of psychedelic pinks and purples to complement the dazzling cityscape below. Ifthe sky is smog-free, the views are worth every penny of the priceycocktails."

19 Best Hotel Brunch Buffets in Hong Kong

"Don't be surprised if you feel a little woozy when you step off the elevator at Ozone, you're 118 floors up, at the highest bar in the world, atop the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong. Ask to be seated on the terrace for unobstructed views. The well-dressed crowd will be mostly visitors and expats celebrating a special occasion over inventive signature cocktails, like the wan chai cooler (with vodka-infused liquorice, mint tea, lemon, Peychaud’s bitters, and hibiscus syrup), classics (Old Fashioned, negronis), plus flavored gin and tonics. On Sundays, there's an all-you-can-eat brunch, which includes free-flowing Dom Pérignon." - Kate Springer, Janice Leung Hayes

This rooftop bar offers absolutely amazing views—definitely the highlight of the experience. It's a great place to enjoy a drink while taking in the city skyline. However, the venue itself could use a bit of a refresh. A fresh coat of paint or some general upkeep would really elevate the atmosphere to match the stunning views. Still worth a visit for the scenery alone!

Ozone Bar – High Altitude, But Not a Must-Revisit Visited Ozone, the world’s highest bar on the 118th floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong* The views are stunning, no doubt—the city sprawls beneath you, especially dazzling at night. But honestly, once is enough. The cocktails were decent, but for the price, I expected a "wow" moment —instead, they were just solid 7/10. Service was polished, though at this level, anything less would’ve been unacceptable. Verdict: Worth a visit for the bragging rights and the panorama, but not compelling enough for a return trip —neither the drinks nor the vibe left a lasting impression. Better to spend that money on something more memorable.

My recent experience at Ozone Bar Ritz Carlton was wow! It has the best view of Hong Kong from the world's highest rooftop bar on level 118. The cocktails and food were amazing. All the staff were great, but Non (from Thailand) was exceptional. He responded to all my needs, helped me with photos, and celebrated my birthday in a fitting manner. He explained that I was lucky to get a night with good weather as the previous two weeks there was rain which restricted bar opening. I would highly recommend Ozone and hope that Non has a great and progressive hospitality career.

Located on the 118th floor, Ozone Rooftop Bar is truly a dream come true. The view over Hong Kong is absolutely stunning – like something out of a movie. Whether you go for sunset or after dark, the skyline is simply mesmerizing. The drinks are creative, the vibe is chic yet relaxed, and the service is excellent. A perfect spot for a special night out or just to soak in the beauty of the city from above. Definitely a must-visit while in Hong Kong!

One of the highest bars in the world, we had a chance to visit this place on our last trip to Hong Kong. We were staying in the Ritz Carlton, which made things even easier. The hotel was aware of the fact that it was our anniversary, and we got a bit of the VIP treatment with a nice semi private area for the two of us. The hostess, who healed from South America, was nothing short of magnificent and made sure all of our needs are attended to. It was a memorable experience we won’t soon forget.

Really enjoyed our time at Ozone. We sat indoors which is just as beautiful as outdoors. If you really want to sit outdoors, make sure you go on a clear day so you can enjoy the view. We preferred indoors because of the atmosphere and music. We could still walk around and take photos outside. The service is of high standard. They had snacks and drinks menu. We went on weekend so it was pretty crowded. Overall great experience and it's a must visit in HK.

We had an unforgettable experience at Ozone. The service was absolutely top-notch. The staff were incredibly attentive, professional, and made us feel special throughout the evening. Thanks to Mr Niels for serving us. It was quite windy and so we could not sit outside but the skyline views were out of this world—easily one of the best in the city. The cocktails were creative and delicious, and the ambience was vibrant. Highly recommend Ozone if you’re looking for a luxury rooftop bar with amazing view, service and an unbeatable atmosphere.

Wow, this is an amazing rooftop bar, and I make it a point to go to the sky bars in every city I travel to. The service was great and it was fun talking with the people working there. The drinks and food were very special, memorable, and tasted great. I sat inside and also I sat on the rooftop. You have to meet a minimum to sit outside, but it was worth it for the view. But even if you don’t sit outside there are amazing views everywhere, even the bathroom! The maitre’d showed me the best room for pictures, a little private room on the way to the bathroom where the angle is just perfect to get your shot with the beautiful Hong Kong skyline. I went in my new bespoke suit and it a very classy place to dress up and enjoy the views. The menus are holographic and themed and it’s part of the Ritz so you know it will be high class. I loved the Rolls Royce stationed at the entry. The waiter recommended the Neon Lights as stand out drink and it was very good and extremely cool to see and hold. Just lots of fun to visit. Also, this is the highest rooftop bar in the world and that is legit. Highly recommended for any trip to Hong Kong.

I think it's good...but it's pretty overpriced. It's understandable considering it's at a hotel. I decided to come here on my full last day just to kind of experience it all. I didn't really get the full experience considering the weather was bad so the terrace wasn't opened for me to check out. I sat at the bar and I remember going there right when it opened (cause I had dinner plans). I had like two cocktails(they had a pretty cool menu that is based on "elements") of their 5 signature drinks. If I don't get lazy, I'll go back to my HD and upload those photos. If I remember correctly, I got "metal" and "fire." There was a gimmick for the "fire" one where they lit it up(it's like a one sec thing haha). Regardless the drinks weren't bad and I had a dessert cause I wanted to try their food. I don't think it's on the menu right now(I checked website) but it was actually pretty decent. The bartender was very nice and he only speaks english(which is fine obviously, he mentioned that most people here prob speaks english in case you can't speak chinese/cantonese at all) I wouldn't mind coming back for the vibes, moreso because I want to see the terrace. It's just that I'm sure there are bars that are much cheaper for around the same taste.

The must visit tallest rooftop bar if your touring Hong Kong. Nestled in 118th Floor of Ritz-Carlton HK. It's such a vibe to be here and watch the sunset weather permitting. You get the best view of Victoria harbour, HK island and Kowloon side too. Service is top notch. You get a discount if you're a Marriott Bonvoy members depending on your tier. Drinks aren't cheap but it's worth it.

David D.

Yelp

Most of the staff were super nice, but the manager when we visited was dreadful. He checked in on the tables of white guests, asked how they were doing, and tried his damn best to get a fake conversation going but never even once asked how guests of other ethnicities are doing. I am not a fan of fake conversations, but this kind of behavior is truly disgusting, severely damages the reputation of Ritz-Carlton, and serves no justice at all to the efforts his colleagues have been putting in. Should be fired and would've been if this were New York City.

Been there? Done that! I was staying at Ritz Carlton and it was so convenient for me to grab a drink before dinner. Even at 5:30 pm, the place was packed. If you want a table and seat in the outside area with a view, you do need to make a reservation. There were just help yourself standing room so we opted to sit inside. Having a drink here is not cheap. So be prepared. A soft drink for $100 and mocktails for $150. You fancy a cocktail that will be around $200. The service is attentive and friendly. You are really paying for the view. Try to pick a nice day to visit if not you will be just so disappointed. The drinks we ordered were great! I really enjoyed HK Skyline with the lavender infused smoke. It was fancy! My sister's Mocktail was just as good.

Edmond T.

Yelp

High in the sky, low in service. What a disappointing place to be! Great view but poor quality of hospitality and service! This place is quite unorganized and chaotic. The staff is not as attentive as expected and needs further training. Left hand doesn't know what right hand is doing is an eloquent way to describe this establishment. A great view without great service could become a great disappointment.

Alice M.

Yelp

Definitely overrated, but in a good way, haha. Be prepared to shell out $25 for a drink, but you get with it a view from the 118th floor. When I came with friends, we didn't stay very long, but it was worth it for the cool vibe, I think. I was shocked they had Napue gin, it's my favorite ever so of course I had to get the cocktail. I forgot the name, but they put goji into it as well as a sprig if rosemary? Anyway, fantastic drink. Might be the best gin cocktail I've ever had.

Jim H.

Yelp

Made a reservation at this bar on a Sunday. Can't attest to the food, but can confirm that drinks are sky high. Service is ok, but had to fetch a waiter myself which was kind of annoying. This place seemed more a lounge with an older crowd than a club with an inside lounge. If your looking for a view, this might be the place. As for the drinks, if your going to make your customers pay outrageous prices for drinks, is it too much to ask for someone to be around to take the order?

Jennifer Y.

Yelp

Gorgeous bar. Beautiful views of the city. Pricey drinks. Great service. Overall: worth it for the experience. I think the interior design and the views are worth the price of the drinks. Ozone is located at the ritz. You most likely need to take a taxi there, but I think it's a must. The place is classy. The purple lighting is nice and I love the hive design for the bar and bar back. Outside it's covered but you can see out, most people like to sit out there for the views. We sat inside and they let us sit on the lounges. We also ordered their chocolate dessert - I think it was some sort of chocolate cake with whipped cream on top and your choice of toppings, we chose chocolate and strawberries. It also came with green tea Haagen das ice cream bar! It was delicious. My only con would be they give you complimentary popcorn and the popcorn was SO stale. I wish they could make some fresh popcorn or at least it was crunchy. It was pretty gross but that's an easy fix.

This is my second visit to Ozone and I have to say I am just as impressed! Ozone is known as the world's highest bar and I feel like its a must see when you're in Hong Kong. The view of Hong Kong is amazing and the height and location of the bar definitely accentuates that. I have to say that Ozone is a bit pricey I'd say about ~$150 per person if you're getting a cocktail/fancier drink. There's is an outdoor and indoor part of the bar, but the outdoor part is where you'd see the view. It's a bit chilly in the winter so be sure to layer up! I believe they occasionally host clubbing events so that is a useful piece of information if you ever wanted to do something more exciting than just chatting. I also saw a privately booked room on the way to the restroom with an even more amazing view! If you're 18+ and are in Hong Kong I'd definitely recommend Ozone. It's not the most affordable place compared to TST, but I definitely think it's something you should do at least once!

Stayed at the ritz Carlton for a few days and decided to check this place out . This place is located on the 116th floor. When u get to the main lobby at the 103th floor. There's a separate elevator with a sign that says Ozone and this elevator will directly take you up to the lounge . This is a very popular tourist area in Hong Kong . They have an outdoor lounge and indoor . It was a bit chilly that night so we decided to sit inside. The ambience is lovely and the music is not too loud. Perfect for get together and socializing with friends . I highly recommend this place .

As I got into the fancy exclusive elevator surrounded by three gorgeous women with tight fitting skirts and 6 inch heels, I became very aware of how my hair was all crazy from my day walking around outside, how I paired my shirt with an old pair of leggings, and how I was carrying a backpack and shopping bag. Welcome to Ozone! The highest bar in the world. Here are some things to keep in mind. 1. Make sure you dress better than I did. 2. 9pm is a bit of an awkward time to go. Apparently in HK, things don't start happening until 1am. There are enough people to crowd out all the seats with the views but not enough people to make the space feel very lively. All the pretty indoor lounge seats are reserved so you can't sit, but there's barely anyone there yet. 3. They have really cool cocktails. Really cool. Also very delicious. And pricey. The Dragontini is sweet, tart, and beautiful to look at. The Bamboo is less sweet but quite strong and served in a bamboo cup. The Basilic highlights its namesake herb wonderfully. They cost about $180 a pop. 4. What you thought was a floor to ceiling mirror in the bathroom is a WINDOW. You're seeing your reflection off the night sky. Spend a minute here or two and just take it in. You're surrounded by luxury, a chandelier is above your head. Don't pay attention to the sound of flushing toilets. Even though it's expensive, and not necessarily the best place to chill, it's quite an experience. The view is phenomenal, if you can squeeze through the people at the window with butts stuck to their seats, to get a look. Just be careful though. It might be something in the drinks, or the atmosphere was imbuing us with some feeling of wealth, but even though we were dressed like bums, my SO went crazy and threw dolla dolla bills at drink after drink after drink. I guess it's true what they say, when in Ozone, do as the rich banking expats do. (94/100) - 2016

Absolutely STUNNING experience!!!! This is the coolest lounge I have ever been to in my entire life. I went late at night, and I felt like I was on top of the world. The drinks are spectacular, and the atmosphere is a full blown vibe. I am definitely coming back here the next time I visit HK!!!!!

Yelp

One of the best views in town. Tasty fruity drinks. Excellent service and high prices: both to be expected. I understand that this place is always packed.. to match the prices, reputation and service the place really does need some work - the open air area of the bar is very shabby - work surfaces, dirty... We made reservations for 5pm during the week. There was no wait to be seated. We spent almost an hour at the bar. 2 drinks, a maki and tip = almost $100 I will come back to this place the next time I visit HK. The view. The view. The view.

Jessica P.

Yelp

I will start by saying the views are beautiful, but what I expect from a service at the ritz, this place did not come anywhere near my ecxpectations. The service was slow, not accommodating, ignored us, no one knew who was our waiter...the list goes on. We were wildly disappointed. The food was mediocre. Drinks were ok. I just expect a more personalized service from such a high end restaurant/bar

Ozone is worth a visit while spending time in Hong Kong. Not only are the appetizers amazing, but you also have bragging rights on having visited the highest bar in the world. Located on the 118th floor of the Ritz-Carlton, it's just a quick trip up to the stratosphere via the high speed elevators. I visited recently with a friend as a way to celebrate the weekend and also to catch a view of the Hong Kong Island skyline at night. We arrived into a contemporary lounge and were quickly seated and served. There is a plethora of drink options for those seeking libations, but the real star of the show is the appetizer samplers. Choose from 3 or 5 appetizers in your sampler, while we found that 3 was just right for the two of us. Between the Jamon Iberico, the Calamari, and the Tuna Tartare comes, they were all outstanding. The Calamari was tender and had the slightest Britney flavor from the seaweed mixed in with its light coating of batter. It's one of the signature items at the Ritz and highly recommended if you visit! This should have been a five-star experience, but I had to take one off due to smoking being allowed on the outdoor patio. This is the location with the best views of the harbor, and while my friend and I wanted to eat there, we found the smoke to be overwhelming despite the open-air ceiling and ventilation. We ended up staying inside the restaurant, which was still a wonderful experience, but something of a letdown since we had wanted to observe the skyline while we ate.

Ozone sits on the 118th floor of the ICC / Ritz Carlton Hotel and is the tallest bar in the world. But is it worth it? For first timers and visitors to HK, yes! But I wouldn't say it's at the top (ha ha) of my list for grabbing drinks with friends. Besides, your chances of getting a nice, unclouded view of Hong Kong is all just a matter of luck. Drinks, ah, do not come cheap. We're at the TALLEST bar in the world, remember? Classic and signature cocktails are HK$185 min., plus a 10% service charge, and will set you back at least HK$200 (or USD26). I ordered a blackberry mojito during my first visit several years ago and I remember I enjoyed it, so I ordered it again the other night. Upon my first sip, I found it awfully sweet (I think I better stick to wines from now on...getting old...), all that blackberry liquor/syrup was not well-mixed at all... My other friends ordered a Kowloon Gin & Tonic (which, upon tasting, wished I had ordered instead) and an Old Fashioned. The Old Fashioned was not well fashioned either. C'mon, Ozone, step it up if you want to stay at the top! If you're not seated inside or outside (with/without a reservation), the bar tables along the window front are first come, first serve. The best view of the house is from the rightmost corner in the terrace, where IFC, Central/Sheung Wan, and Admiralty are within your periphery. But without a reservation for that specific spot, you'll have to either wait for your turn at window seating or peer between the spaces of fellow Ozoners to catch a glimpse of the (cloudy) Hong Kong skyline.

At the top of the Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong. OZONE has the distinction of being the world's "tallest bar." Overall the place is definitely worth seeing but the tapas are not. We tried a few different tapas. First off we tried the charcoal bao with pork, the ham croquettes, and the grilled eggplant and tofu sandwiches. The bao was a bit of a letdown. It's more like a pork taco and while spicy it's flavor was lacking compared to all of the other places in Hong Kong where you can get bao - 2/5. The croquettes were solid, good flavor, and just enough pork 4/5. But the surprise was the eggplant sandwich. Lots of flavor and a nice texture that made you forget it was vegan - 5/5. Next we tried the caipirinha melon with anchovies and two sushi selections - the yellowtail and the salmon. The melon was fantastic, definitely the best tapa of the night. It's a cold melon topped with a small anchovy and the two flavors mix perfectly - 5/5. The sushi, however, was not good. Both of them were stringy and felt and tasted old - 1/5. All in all I would give this place 3.5/5 stars. 2.5 stars for the tapas (the melon is definitely the star) and 5/5 for the atmosphere. A cool place to check out.

What do you say about the worlds tallest bar and it's open air? It gets cool even if it's warm outside (118 stories ) the place has a phenomenal view view of Hong Kong and Victoria Harbor. As you would imagine it is busy close to 8 then settles a little. Gin is prominent with 4 different types of tonic. Craft cocktails and upscale small plates

Evelyn W.

Yelp

Ozone really thrives on its magnificent views. Being so high in the sky, it really is down to luck whether you can see anything - fog and clouds! We ordered some truffle fries along with out drinks. The chips were okay but the truffle was a little too strong on the oil side, perhaps their other menu items are better. Whiskey - you can't go wrong. Wandered around a little, outside standing bar was so crowded on the Saturday night~

Nicole P.

Yelp

Over. Rated. My friends and I were excited to check out the highest bar in the world. Upon entering the Ritz, we had to wander for a bit before a staff person asked us if they could help us. We were then directed to a series of elevators before finally making it to Ozone. We'd made reservations, so we were a bit thrown off when the host led us to the open-air bar area and basically told us to fend for ourselves. There are no seats at the actual bar, so the only seating options are along the window (which obviously have the best views) and couches which are reserved for hotel guests. Infuriating. During our visit, my friend's had mediocre service from the bartender, we experienced the rat-race of trying to find a few window seats together, then we left after being harassed/photographed by the dad-aged pervs near whom we ended up sitting. Worth a stop for the views but would not stay for long.

Lisa C.

Yelp

Great alternative to The Peak to see an amazing view of Hong Kong. We sat outdoors and we were able to catch the sunset. Lots of drink selection. The service was great. Our mix nuts snack bowl were immediately replaced even though we only got through half of it. Our waiter was attentive. As soon as I was done with my drink, he asked if I would like another. And if it gets cold, don't worry there are heat lamps. And do go to the restroom while you're here! Amazing view right as you walk in!

Tim S.

Yelp

Very cool bar atmosphere but the drinks are way overpriced. $195HKD ($26 USD) for a classic Mojito. That's excessive. Bottles of typical middle of the road scotch are going for $3,400 HKD ($450 USD). The staff isn't that attentive if you ask me. They make good drinks but not without being asked. They're not serving customers; they're making drinks and ignoring patrons. That's not good bar service. I've been here. I won't come back.

Ben M.

Yelp

Amazing view and a great place to catch the light show over the harbor at 8pm. If you happen to be looking for a table just know that they will not seat you till your whole party is present. No kids after a certain time. I was there with my wife and kids, it's a great place for kids. The service team is also super helpful to those with children. My son fell asleep and they brought us a blanket. Thats great service, we didn't even ask them. Price point is over the top for sure, They give you salty popcorn. The draft beers are $165HK ($21us) and it That's some wackishness. It is however a small price to pay to entertain or be entertained in a one of a kind, top of the city environment you cant get anyplace else.

The tallest bar in the "world" not sure if that is accurate, but definitely the tallest I've ever been on. 118th floor roof top the views are a must seen, but if you are thinking your outside your not it's a glass room witch is good, but you do need a high chair to see the view. The interior of the bar is very nice the music is great drinks are average. I did not try any good. Mix crowd mostly Ritz Carlton guest no locals. Nothing out of the ordinary or me.

Peter P.

Yelp

5 stars for the view, but the drinks were overpriced. $50 usd for a drink? Meh, it was a bit unimpressive. Service wasn't spectacular either. We were hoping that a waiter could take our order, but you have to order drinks at the bar yourself (then what are the waiters walking around for?). Complimentary truffle popcorn had an interesting flavor to it, but super stale.

Emily C.

Yelp

Alright, my friends recommended the ICC Building for lovely views of Hong Kong. They failed to mention the awesome bar atop the Ritz Carlton. It's pretty awesome. Let's just start off by saying that you are paying for atmosphere, if you are even paying at all. If you took the Sky100, you'd be paying around HKD 168 for a standard ticket. Why do that when you can pay for the view AND get a fine cocktail on the 118th Floor? If you don't drink, pretty sure you can waltz in like you belong to take in the views in the outdoor area of the bar FOR FREE. If you do decide to drink, then my fine reader, continue on. Drinks here are pricey, but they do give you a massive amount of cashews. I love cashews and they probably gave me about $5 USD worth of cashews, which I greedily devoured like a hungry squirrel preparing for winter. Drink strength was ok, even as I pestered the bartender not to make it so girly. I was ordering a Champagne Mojito though, so... yeah. It was a bit sour and he offered to make it sweeter, but that just ruins everything, so I was like forget it. If you can't give me the taste of alcohol, just leave it. Boyfriend's Vanilla Sky was what I should have gotten as it was quite strong and came with a proper huge ice block. They premake everything else and store it in a flask and pour it after the bourbon. It is interesting to note that they are fresh about their ingredients as we saw them chopping everything up when time permitted. Not sure how long those last until though! Was it worth it? Yes, if you like crafted cocktails with a breathtaking view (for a price, obviously). The inside bar area, restrooms and escalators in and out of this place are AMAZINGLY decorated. NO JOKE. It lives up to its Ritz Carlton name. How do I get there? From the main lobby of the hotel, note that there is a separate elevator labelled "OZONE". You really can't miss it. From the mall, you take two escalators up, one elevator for the lobby, then another to Ozone. Enjoy!

This bar/restaurant has terrible service and their prices were as high as their restaurant. Drinks are extremely "meh" it doesn't seem like they really have a bartender that's very experienced... a bunch of servers and new bar people were obviously working the bar when I was there because they were scrambling to fill three drink tickets. They seem to like to put a lot of booze into their drinks without regard to flavors or balance that makes a good cocktail. I quite literally had the worst margarita in my life at Ozone, and that's a tough one to beat. Service was slow and rude, they wouldn't even remake my drink after I took half a sip and told them it was bad. There are nice views from this place and it's the highest bar in the world, but honestly it's not worth it at all. You can get the same views from inside the hotel at other places without the attitude or the absurd prices they charge.

Noreen M.

Yelp

A tragic waste of their most valuable asset - the view! The ONLY area where you can see the view is at the high-top counter at the perimeter of the open-air terrace. If you sitin the low-set sofas behind counter, you'll only have a view of people's behinds. Note that the terrace is a SMOKING SECTION so if you're a non-smoker, you'll likely have to endure second-hand smoke to enjoy the view (IF you get a seat at the counter). If you sit inside, you have no view of the outside whatsoever so you may as well go to a cheaper bar as it no longer matters if you're in the highest bar in the world. Signature cocktails were bas to mediocre. I got the "Metal" and it tasted like diluted tea and kombucha. My company got "Fire" and it it was nothing special. For $198 HKD each, we definitely expected more. Even the presentation was lacklustre. There are many other bars with more creative and impressive cocktails at this price point. Service was underwhelming. Drinks came slowly and we had to ask three different servers for our bill before we got it. Pretty disappointing considering it wasn't busy. I won't be returning to Ozone. Honestly, we expected much more based on the reviews and the fact that it's part of the Ritz Carlton hotel. Everything else at the hotel we experienced (room, breakfast, fitness facilities) was wonderful. Sad to say that Ozone does not live up to the rest of this hotel. If you care about good drinks and ambience, go elsewhere.

Try: The Dragontini Kowloon Gin & Tonic Good Old-Fashioned Pro: You are paying for location, location, location, and boy is it worth it! The view is astounding. We went during a quieter time of the day; 5-7 on a Thursday. The service was simply serviceable, and the nicest folks were the hostesses that led us to our table. Even though I wasn't dressed for the occasion, they didn't bat an eye. As for the drinks, everyone at the table was pleased, with one exception... Con: We ordered two Dragontinis. While a very attractive drink, it was also very, very sweet. I downed them both, and I suspect they were masking an overpour because the second one hit me hard, and I take my drinks easily. The take away? Your drink quality may vary. While still a worthwhile experience, know that the view comes first and the drinks come second here.

Came here with a few friends after a tiring two hr hike. We ordered four different drinks, all of which had unique tastes. The environment is a bit loud which made it hard for conversation, but nonetheless a good & fancy place for drinks!

Look, this place is pretty expensive, and it can also be a bit of a pain to get into at times, but the fact that I have been let in means that I will give it credit where it is due. Okay, I'm not normally a big fan of these really fancy and overpriced bars, but this one was awesome, even if it is because it happens to be the highest in the world (or at was at the time I was here - that could have changed). The views, honestly, they are magnificent, especially at night. They also have some nice beers on tap as well, but as I mentioned, it is pretty expensive.

Ozone has the WOW factor that really makes your guests fall in love with Hong Kong. Apparently it's the highest bar in the world and certainly worth the effort. A very cool setting with a super cool vibe. Best to go for just a couple of drinks if you're paying, it ain't cheap, but when you pay tip-top prices it's a pleasure to receive great drinks and service as you'd expect.

Over... RATED - off the well-beaten path of the usual TST tourist spots and Knutsford Terrace, quite inaccessible by public transport or donkey cart -- you must REALLY want to go to Ozone to end up 116 floors up top of the Ritz Carlton. While I was hoping for killer views of the night sky, the outdoor bar area has very high floor to ceiling-height windows, which not only prevent patrons from feeling like they're really up THAT high, but it also kept me from throwing myself off the balcony when I got the bill for our drinks and apps. Overly-sweet drinks, a wine list that's as exciting as my granny panties, but some pretty solid appetizers, Ozone is hoping that the bright shiny lights and glass glass everywhere is enough of a deterrent from its shortcomings. And with drinks prices that are on the higher side of its 116 floors, I was unable to inebriate myself to the point of no return, which I will do now that I've sobered up from the experience. No return to Ozone, that is.

Obviously one of the best views of the city, no doubt. Very cool if you can snag a bar stool overlooking the landscape to Hong Kong Island. A martini cost me the equivalent of $27 USD and I had to ask for it repeatedly- they kept forgetting to bring it to me. You can smoke on the patio part, which totally bums me out about places. It's worth the visit maybe, but be ready to spend a lot for the experience

$27 USD cocktails? Yikes. Amazing view 118 floors up, but expect to pay a hefty price. Grab a drink before sunset then head out and buy dinner elsewhere :)

BEST BRUNCH EVER! Bottomless champagne and they were serving Veuve Clicquot! Needless to say, we got our money's worth! BEST view of Hong Kong because it's at the TOP of the TALLEST BUILDING in Hong Kong! The brunch food was also fancy, unique, creative and overall MOUTHGASMIC (ie. foie gras lollipops with a thin candy coating....and yes, it works)! Service was also top notch which was not surprising. The staff were so friendly and eager to serve you! But all this delight comes with a steep price......$150-200 per person! As a baller on a budget, trust me, it's worth it....even if it's just to do it once!!! Add this to your MUST DO in Hong Kong!

Whatever the Ritz may be in other cities, this bar does a huge disservice to the brand: Slow, unprofessional and the polar opposite of what I expect from a RC property. Drink service in a very slow bar took 20+ minutes. I then watched as they sat at the station for another 10 minutes. I ended up getting off my chair and just doing the pickup myself. Worst of all, the drinks were weak and clearly made by untrained bartenders. What's worse is that the bar was filled with way underdressed guests (shorts, flip flops, etc) which made it feel even more shabby. Just go to The Peninsula or Mandarin if you want a real drink in a real bar. It's so much easier that way.

If this is your first time in Hong Kong, ozone is a must visit. The highest bar in the world with the best views of the city! Yes, this view comes with a price tag. Drinks are the most expensive in the entire city of Hong Kong, including other hotel bars. Why 3 stars? Service was completely off on my last visit - slow, inefficient, robotic. Also, this place has become a haven for cigarette smoke - views are now clouded with smoke. Such a tragedy. That being said, if this is your first time in HKG, Ozone is worth a visit!

Ozone was definitely on this list of spots I wanted to go to while I was in Hong Kong and I am super glad that I was able to check it out. The overall vibe of the place was very cosmopolitan and trendy, I should note that this seems to be a hot spot for tourists or expats so the English proficiency of all the staff is excellent. The view is amazing, as other tellers have mentioned the bar is on the 118th floor of the Ritz Carlton. I tried the dragontini and rose bubble martini, both of which were very well presented and delicious.

Best harbor view, especially at night time. Sit on the patio and get one of the martinis or champagne cocktails. 114th floor above the Ritz Carlton in the Elements mall, prices match the scene be prepared. If you only have a few hours to get away from business meetings, this is a must do

Worth it for 'the experience'! As others have said, the Ozone is part of the Ritz Carlton and sits on floor 118, so drinks with a view so to speak! I was there on a Monday after 10pm so I wasn't asked to pay a cover charge and I was able to access the terrace. On a good weather day/night, it would be great for the views across HK but with a typhoon warning out, it was rather windy and not great for anyone with long hair! Took a few photos though then sat in the bar area. I had a couple of G&T's, so they were around $200 HK each plus 10% service charge. You get a decent size bowl of cashews and almonds and staff will top up happily. Getting served at the terrace bar took a bit if time then had a bit of a wait to get my drink but much easier second time when in the bar area. There is a Sky100 thing you can do in the same building but I'd say skip doing that (which you pay for) and come up to the Ozone and order a drink and catch the view from floor 118. I can't imagine I'll do this every time I'd come to HK but if I was with friends or colleagues on their first visit, I'd bring them here.

I've thought long and hard on where my 100th Yelp review should go to. It has to be an extraodinary, out of this world experience like no other and my favourite place out of all the places I've been to on Yelp. The honour has been bestowed upon Ozone Bar in the swanky Ritz Carlton, the highest bar in the world. The Ritz Carlton is the epitome of luxury. You know you are in a different world travelling on a private road (rare in HK) spiralling up towards the hotel complete with an extremely well-manicured roundabout. I was in awe as I stepped into the lobby and slowly made my way up to Ozone on level 118. Everywhere was grandiose, lavish and extravagant. No expenses spared anywhere. The views from the bar are astonishing. There is an outdoor section with floor to ceiling glass panes reaching up high and an empty roof. We sat right in front of the glass. The buildings look so tiny and we had fun playing a game of spotting buildings we had driven past, and looking at the boats on Victoria Harbour. The cocktails looked and tasted amazing. Service was attentive and unobtrusive at the same time. There is also an inside section which is a lot more quiet as you can't see the views from there. No expenses spared in the fit out either. Full of class, decorated in a modern way. A must-do experience if in HK!!!!!!!!

See and be seen with high prices at this high bar The view is beautiful and I'm not talking about the skyline. Dress to impress here on f118. Make your way outside and grab an expensive drink, even for HK prices. But it's all just the price of admission to check in on Yelp. Right? Trust me, it's worth it. There was no cover when we arrived late on a Sunday night to a, standing room only bar scene. The patio is chill with heaters a s needed and hopefully it's a relatively clear night so you can see the lights of the city. The pollution has a tendency to cloud your view. Inside the lounge it's louded and crowded with most areas reserved but some open seating. The decor is cool in a modern, pattern, pattern everywhere look. It's worth a trip to the top for a drink then it's back down to the ground for reasonable prices and HK shenanigans.

118 floors. 118 STORIES HIGH?! Where in the world would you go for a bar this high?! Here in Hong Kong. Pro: - Tallest Bar in Hong Kong, giving you bragging rights. - Wonderful view. - Complimentary Truffle Popcorn, very nice touch. - Interior design is very blue, but very chic. Con: - Drinks are extremely pricey. How pricey? 100 HKD for soda. SODA?! A bottle of Asahi costs 105 HKD...?! - Service... where? I don't suggest going outside (indoor is fine) when it's the colder times in Hong Kong (December - February) because when you're up that high and outside... you're not going to be able to feel your fingers holding the glass. The heat from the fire stands are not going to save you. This place is great when you're just dropping by before you take the Airport Express train to the Airport. Gives you some time to kill, but just don't kill your wallet ordering so much. I would only recommend coming here just to say you've been here, or showing a friend around because they are are too into Instagram. Other than that, I'd rather go to another bar a little shorter.

Please do not bother! Really...don't go here. We thought the views would compensate for the reputed bad service and expected cheesy atmosphere. They didn't. We were there for 25 minutes and at one point left our table to order our own drinks at the bar. Even after that, we never got our drinks. Unless you are desperate for a "scene" where tourists are taking selfies and snap chatting, I would avoid this place! There are some excellent views of the Harbor from other spots on Kowloon - where you can have a positive experience. Try the lobby at the Intercontinental hotel.

The view gets 5 stars but the prices get 2 stars so I'll settle on 3 to make it meet. Also disappointing is that smoking is allowed outside. Sure it's technically open air but it makes the smoke stay. 2 pints of beer on tap 65AUD/£31 or for 2 cocktails 73AUD. Oh but don't miss the bathroom view.

Terrible drinks...but a really, really gorgeous view! Don't miss this spectacle (shoot for a weekday, non-cloudy night) if you're visiting Hong Kong. Unless you're already in the area, taxiing to the Ritz Carlton is all you have to do. Walk into the ground floor, take the elevator to the lobby, then take a _second_ elevator all the way up to Ozone. Your ears will pop in the elevator and your eyes will pop at the view from the highest bar in the world. As for the beverages, the Dragon's Back was way too expensive to be the sweet, syrupy thing that was served to me. Bleh. I don't remember what my girlfriend had, but it was also not tasty.

Great sight from the 118th floor. Hard to find: It is in the building with many financial institutions - follow the signs to the Ritz Carlton. You'll need to take the elevators up from ground level to their lobby on the 104th floor. Access Ozone through another elevator bank up. The view up here is marvelous, but some windows have this odd white faded tint. Drinks cost an arm and a leg, so be prepared.
