Blue Martini

Escape the megaclubs and hang with the locals at Blue Martini—a popular loungey club with a lively vibe. A combo nightlife hotspot and entertainment venue, Blue Martini has four bars, including one on the expansive open-air patio; bottle service and a dance floor for those seeking the club experience; plus a deejay spinning late-night tunes. The star of the show is, of course, the martini menu that even Sinatra would sing about.

Shanghai Nights

Did you know that Shanghai was once called the Vegas of Asia? Revisit that decadent era (minus the opium) at Shanghai Nights, a weekly party at the Mandarin Bar. Experience the glamour of the 1930s as the spectacular 23rd-floor bar transforms into an Asian-style speakeasy, complete with Shanghai-inspired everything: Oriental lanterns, dramatic red lighting, live jazz, small bites and luscious cocktails evocative of the era. Try the French Concession, a combination of European and Asian flavors.

Fizz Champagne Lounge

Fizz, a new champagne lounge and bar created by David Furnish, a.k.a. Elton John’s significant other, is about as fabulous as it comes. Think a glam-chic décor that shimmers from the sparkle and glow of cognac chandeliers, and high-end champagnes by the glass and carefully curated spirits. Exquisite choices of caviar, charcuterie and small plates are overseen by Furnish and Sir Elton’s personal chef.
