The newly opened Greater China Club is an elite salon-style rendezvous transporting guests back in time to the glamorous ‘roaring’ 1920s with Art Deco-inspired design – plus a rustic China twist.

The elegant Cantonese restaurant is helmed by expert chefs from Michelin star restaurants offering a-la-carte and “couture dining” that guests can order in advance for specially-tailored menus; while Dim Sum is also available during lunch hours.
Classic jazz in a ‘speakeasy’ styled after a 1920s American nightclub underlines the club’s stylish credentials as a “quintessential rendezvous for those who appreciate the finer things in life”, along with traditional Chinese Guzheng and Pipa musical performances every evening.
“Our first Chinese New Year celebration is all about happiness, with food and music combining to create a one of a kind experience at this vibrant new dining, art and jazz destination atop D2 Place,” said Mr Eric Ting, Founder and CEO of Greater China Club.
