Congratulations to all the amazing winners of our Love Local Awards 2023!
Having conquered the pandemic and finally emerging at the end of the tunnel, Hong Kong has come a long way over the past year in its recovery. As the city rises from adversity, we’re now announcing the winners of our third annual Honeycombers Reader’s Choice: Love Local Awards 2023. From restaurants and hotels, to shops and beauty salons, we’re spotlighting local businesses that have shown incredible character and resilience, and are now breathing life back into our streets. And to thank the community for supporting our voting last month (we received a record-breaking number of entries!), we’re giving away a deluxe 3D2N stay at The Farm at San Benito, plus 25 Pirata Group dining vouchers to lucky readers.
As one of the most trusted lifestyle platforms in Hong Kong, we pride ourselves on ensuring a fair voting process. The Gold and Silver winners are strictly determined by your votes alone. Meanwhile, our Editor’s Choice award commends some standout runners-up that we feel deserve additional recognition. Without further ado, here are the best of the best in #HomeKong!
