Boujis Pop-up Club in Hong Kong

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

Celebrating Quintessentially’s 5th birthday in Hong Kong and raising money for our philanthropic arm, the Quintessentially Foundation, I’m delighted to announce that we’re bringing top London nightclub Boujis to Hong Kong for the very first time. Our charitable pop-up club in Sheung Wan will be open from 14th to 16th October 2010 for three exclusive nights only and will give back to the community in the form of charitable workshops as well as exciting evening events. We’re absolutely thrilled that HSBC Private Bank and CSL 1O1O are on board as the official partners of the club.

The pop-up is taking place at The Space, a new extension of local art institution The Cat Street Gallery. The club will showcase an international mix of the hottest DJs from London at the club nights alongside daytime community workshops to raise money for the Quintessentially Foundation benefiting local Hong Kong charities.

During the day, kids will take part in music, art, cooking, photography and design classes while in the early evening, we’re selling tickets to an exclusive mixologist event and working with The Financial Times on a lifestyle quiz with fab prizes. As the lights go down, Boujis will be taking over and transforming the space into Hong Kong’s most exclusive club, with DJ Klaus flying in the decks of London’s Boujis to ensure the party continues well into the morning.

Joining forces with Boujis, hot dining destination 208 Duecento Otto and Moët Hennessy Diageo will be coming on board as the F&B partners for the event while interior style-setters Halo Asia will outfit the space with their iconic furniture.

“We think Sheung Wan is Hong Kong’s equivalent to the New York Meatpacking District in its early days. With its hipster vibe and budding art and design scene, it seems a natural home for the city’s first charitable pop-up club and we are delighted to support such an exciting event and give back to the local community,” says Yenn Wong, owner of 208 Duecento Otto.

The Quintessentially Foundation focuses on improving the lives of disadvantaged local communities worldwide. Proceeds from the table and bar sales from the three club nights will go to supporting Hong Kong causes, including the Ambassadors of Design, Changing Young Lives Foundation, Hong Kong Cancer Fund, Hong Kong Eating Disorders Association, Mother’s Choice, Pathways, Room to Read, The Women’s Foundation and Variety Hong Kong.

The party will take place from Thursday 14th October to Saturday 16th October 2010. Doors open at 9.30pm. For guestlist entry, please email: boujis@quintessentiallyfoundation.org with your name and email address, or call +852 3758 7416.

The Year Ahead In Clubs

Friday, February 5th, 2010

As 2010 gets under way, there are a few nightclubs that promise to be the really outstanding highlights of the year. Here are some that we recommend you check out as soon as possible, and, if you’re lucky enough to be a Quintessentially member, there are some amazing offers and benefits – contact clubs@quintessentially.com to arrange your visit.

Aura – www.aura-mayfair.com – was recently bought by new owners and has recently re-opened with a completely new look. They have retained the name as they want to bring back the glory days from its first opening six years ago. It’s an intimate members club set in the heart of Mayfair, and also offers a superb restaurant.  Quintessentially members get preferential treatment and free entry when pre-booked.

Whisky Mist – www.whiskymist.com During Christmas it underwent an extensive facelift, all on the orders of the legendary designer, Kelly Hoppen. All Quintessentially members will receive a complimentary round of shots on arrival when they book a table.

Boujis – www.boujis.com The infamous Boujis has finally had a revamp after seven years, bringing it into 2010 with a bang. The club is looking slick and stylist and the royals have already given it their seal of approval. Quintessentially members are given VIP treatment and free entry when it’s organised in advance.

Maddox – www.maddoxclub.com Arguably one of London’s most exclusive and successful members nightclubs, Maddox closed for two weeks over Christmas for a refurbishment. They still offer a stylish restaurant and club destination. Quintessentially members get priority table bookings.

Merah – www.merahclub.com Formerly known as Crystal Club, Merah is a sophisticated nightclub that boasts lavish and bespoke interiors. They have a dream team of staff flown over from St Tropez and often host the hottest DJs from around the world. Quintessentially members get priority table bookings.

Supper Club – www.supperclub.com The Supper Club has already established destination venues in the likes of Amsterdam, LA and Singapore, and now bring their painfully hip, fashion-centric brand to West London, taking over the old Neighbourhood club space just off Portobello Road. Set over two levels, there’s a central dance floor area on the ground floor. Upstairs is the best spot in the house – the balconies allow you to lean over and observe all the goings on below. We suggest you book for a supper at 8.15pm (they only have one sitting) and enjoy a two hour, four course surprise menu whilst watching wild and wacky entertainment. Quintessentially members get VIP treatment.

Maggie’s – April 2010 will see the opening of Maggie’s, a super cool 80s revival club on the Fulham Road with kitsch cocktails, Rubick’s cube tables and stuffed full of amazing 80s memorabilia. The owners have Kitt’s club and Bart’s bar under their belts and will no doubt continue to impress Chelsea, with their unpretentious, simple, but fun establishments. Quintessentially members will be granted free entry on presentation of their card and given priority bookings.

Luxx Club – www.luxx-london.com Set to open on 19th February on New Burlington Street, Mayfair. They promise to provide London’s elite with outstanding décor and service in the club, which will be open from 6pm to 4am including a private smoking garden. Guests will be able to order food until 3am, which is almost unheard of in Mayfair. They intend for the bar lounge to have a relaxed atmosphere for those who want to avoid a club atmosphere. Quintessentially members will be granted VIP treatment and preferential entry.
