American Club

Hong Kong, China

Reviewed July 2007

Enjoy country green or city scene at the American Club, Hong Kong. This double-duty club (with "town" and "country" locations) makes both the ambitious power broker and Zen-minded leisure traveler feel right at home.

In the heart of Hong Kong's Central District, the Town Club boasts sweeping views and plenty of pampering at the top of the Two Exchange Square building. Deals are guaranteed "sealable" at either The Clipper (featuring premium aged steaks and views of the harbor) or Shun Fung (Cantonese cuisine in a classy setting). Homesick? Add a touch of white and blue to Asian red with a hotdog and a televised ballgame at Legends Bar.

Big-city bustle gives way to bucolic bliss at The Country Club's prime location on Hong Kong Island's southeastern shore. Spread across 3.5 lush acres, you'll find golf driving bays, swimming pools, a clubhouse offering dining and activities for the whole family and endless sport courts. (Pick your racquet-you'll find a court for it!)

• Town Club—The Clipper (fine), Shun Fung (Cantonese), 49th & Terrace (New York deli-style), Legends Bar, Harbor Bar
