Located on the mezzanine above MO Bar. The hotel’s vibrant all-day-dining venue, PDT Hong Kong follows the tradition of the original. Guests will enter through an entrance disguised by a phone booth at the top of the staircase. Designed by Nelson Chow, the interior maintains key elements of PDT NYC. Such as the copper bar top, herringbone patterned wood ceiling and taxidermy, but each asset has been given a playful spin.
“It is extremely exciting to be collaborating with the immensely talented Jim Meehan and Jeff Bell for their first venture outside of the States. After hosting PDT’s pop-up as part of our Masters of Mixology programme last year, we recognised that PDT would be a perfect permanent fit for us,” said Torsten van Dullemen, General Manager of The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.
