Hosting renowned personalities from David Beckham to Pharrell Williams, Sevva has been an unrivalled pioneer of entertainment in Hong Kong since 2008. However, after sixteen glorious years, this style haven, founded by entrepreneur Bonnae Gokson (proprietor of Ms B’s Cakery and C’est La B cafes), will say its final farewell on April 17.

Sevva is the epitome of a city hotspot. Occupying 22,000sq ft of space on the 25th floor of the Landmark Prince, its furnishings effortlessly radiate elegance and timeless style, as if they were pulled directly from the pages of a luxury interior design magazine. One of the reasons for its popularity is its remarkable terrace, which is surrounded by a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of Central and Admiralty’s iconic skyscrapers, the picturesque harbour, and the mesmerising Kowloon skyline. This makes it a favourite among tourists and locals, as it offers an unforgettable vantage point to admire the city.

The city has sadly witnessed the closure of numerous iconic establishments in recent years. The challenges posed by the pandemic have significantly impacted the city’s economy, including its hospitality industry. Like many other businesses in this sector, the enduring effects of Covid-19 have ultimately taken their toll at Sevva.

“Sevva is taking stock of its success after more than a decade and a half and will be open to new creative directions. We are enormously proud to have raised the standard of hospitality in Hong Kong,” says Gokson.

While we’re sad to know Sevva has to say goodbye, we’re sure that the iconic rooftop bar will go out with a bang on its final evening.
