As the second phase of The Magistracy in Hong Kong, a historic judicial house which has been sensitively reimagined and restored by Black Sheep Hospitality Group in Hong Kong. Featuring a 60-seat main dining space, alongside two unique private dining rooms, and a sports lounge named Jack’s Racquet Room.

The spaces are inspired by the rich cultural impact and patronage of the Maharajas, Maharanis, Nawabs, Nizams and Emperors who ruled India’s diverse patchwork of territories before, during and after the colonial era. Just as the country’s aristocrats and monarchs developed intertwined food and artistic cultures, the design of Prince and the Peacock is designed to meld effortlessly with the aromas and flavours of the cuisine created by Chef Palash Mitra of New Punjab Club in Hong Kong, the world’s only Punjabi restaurant with a Michelin star.

An invocation of the opulence of historic royal palaces and courts, the peacock takes centre stage in a subtle blend of motifs and vibrant colours inspired by the legendary bird, which still serves as India’s icon of royalty and power. Adjacent to the balcony space hang traditional punkah fans, reminiscent of palatial interiors where the fanning of fresh air was a regal requirement.

The Magistracy has been expanded with two private dining room options on the second floor. The first, named the Ruby Room, is designed to host groups of up to 8 people and has been artfully decorated in scarlet tones with a stunning tiled ceiling. The second space, The Kohinoor, was named after one of the world’s largest cut diamonds and holds up to 8 in a room resplendent with elegant pink ceiling drapery.

” This lounge and bar space blends the classic elegance of South Asian sports clubs, with the comfort and sophistication of everything you’d expect from a modern hospitality setting. The space features rich, dark rosewood timber, recalling clubrooms of old, while the lounge area exudes plush comfort with mohair, velvets, and leather armchairs, creating an inviting and luxurious atmosphere. The colour palette is inspired by traditional sports, found in the deep red of cricket balls, warm mustard tones, fresh lime green, and the orange hues of red travertine, as well as striped fabrics drawing on classic club jersey styles.” -Joyce Wang
