The mall at the International Finance Centre—better known as IFC mall—has become a fixture along Hong Kong Island's waterfront since its opening in 2003. With over 200 luxury stores as well as plenty of F&B and entertainment options, there's definitely no shortage of things to do. What’s more, its spacious atrium is frequently booked for large-scale exhibitions by a variety of top tier brands.

Shoppers will find all of the leading luxury brands here, including Chanel, Dior, Bottega Veneta, Cartier and Celine to name a few, as well as more niche brands like Maje, Self-Portrait, Theory and Canada Goose.

Beauty boutiques including premium French fragrance house Ex Nihilo’s Hong Kong debut, a gorgeous Diptyque store designed to resemble a Parisian apartment, and a too-cool-for-school Byredo store. 

Falcone, an all-day pizzeria Napoletana inspired by the chaos and beauty of Napoli; La Rambla, which serves Spanish tapas and cocktails, and has a beautiful terrace with panoramic views of Victoria Harbour; and a few casual but noteworthy cafes and takeaway joints like Blue Bottle, La Pata Negra House and Le Salon De Thé de Joël Robuchon, whose croissants will bring you a little closer to God.
