Hopewell Centre

Description:

• The designers of this 1982 structure obviously did not like corners. This 66-floor building is round and was the tallest in Hong Kong when first built. Right at the top is Revolving 66, a restaurant and bar. For a totally terrifying experience, there is a glass-walled lift that goes up the outside of the building to the restaurant--great views but not for the fainthearted! At the back of the building the ground rises sharply. So sharply in fact that access to the car park, from Kennedy Road, is 17 floors up from the main entrance on Queens Road East.
