California Tower's 8th floor has a new tenant. Upper Hong Kong, a column-free nightclub from the team behind Bangkok's Upper House, has opened in the heart of Lan Kwai Fong — a soft-glam room with a soaring 6-metre ceiling built for late-night dancing, five minutes' walk from Central MTR.

What is Upper Hong Kong?
Upper Hong Kong is a nightclub from the operators of Upper House Bangkok, the Sukhumvit 24 venue known for its soft-glam interiors and R&B and house-leaning DJ sets. The Hong Kong outpost brings that same sensibility to the 8th floor of California Tower, one of Lan Kwai Fong's longest-running nightlife buildings.
The club opened with a soft launch in late June 2026, occupying a floor that has cycled through several nightlife concepts over the years — a sign of how competitive, and how quickly turned over, prime LKF real estate can be.
Inside the space
What sets the room apart is its architecture: a column-free, rectangular floor plan with a 6-metre ceiling — a rare combination in a district where most venues are carved out of older, lower-ceilinged shophouse floors. That height gives the space room for a full production rig without crowding the dance floor.
The music policy draws from the same playbook as its Bangkok sister venue: R&B and house-led sets rather than a straight techno or hip-hop room, aimed at a crowd that wants to dance without the harder edges of LKF's more underground clubs.
Address, hours and getting there
Upper Hong Kong
California Tower sits at the corner of D'Aguilar Street and Lan Kwai Fong's main strip — one lift ride from the district's busiest late-night crossroads.
Why does California Tower matter to LKF nightlife?
California Tower has been a fixture of Lan Kwai Fong's vertical nightlife scene for decades, with its upper floors passing through a rotating cast of bars and clubs as tastes and operators change. A new tenant with real production headroom — that 6-metre ceiling is unusually generous for the district — is a signal that LKF's nightlife core still has room for ambitious new rooms, not just street-level bars.
