Hark back to the past in Hong Kong. Yes, it is coming back to life again. The Marco Polo German Bierfest may have been cancelled but Rugby Sevens is still scheduled for 4-6 November. And as restrictions are being removed there are many financial gatherings planned as frustrated global CEOs can now, after over two years, meet their Asia counterparts in person.

As so often happens, The Peninsula Hong Kong nips in with an idea that is just right for this time. New York’s household-name Studio 54 club might be a name from the past but the hotel invites travellers to re-live that history

Recover from Rugby rowdiness and conference cacophony with an evening at Felix, the Philippe Starck-designed avant-garde restaurant atop The Peninsula’s 28-floor tower. Its Nights at Studio 54 spectacular, which runs 6th October to 10th December, is Richard Crawford’s modern take on the original club (it was thanks to former Syracuse University room-mates Steve Rubell and Ian

Schrager that Studio 54, on what had been CBS’ Theatre 54 soundstage in Manhattan, in only three years, 1977-1980, attracted every name in the celeb book).
