Foreign Correspondents' Club, Press club in Central, Hong Kong
The Foreign Correspondents' Club occupies a historic building on Lower Albert Road in Central Hong Kong. The facility includes two restaurants, a main bar, meeting rooms, a fitness center, and a work space with broadband internet.
The club was founded in Chongqing in 1943 and moved to Hong Kong from Shanghai, where it was set up on 23 or 25 June 1949. It has occupied the North Block of the Old Dairy Farm Depot since 1982. In 2018 it hosted a lunch talk by pro-independence activist Andy Chan despite Beijing's objections, after which vice-president Victor Mallet was denied a visa renewal.
The club serves as a meeting point for journalists, diplomats, and professionals from various fields. Regular speaker sessions and discussions here bring together people interested in media and international affairs.
The building is centrally located and walkable, not far from the nearby Fringe Club. Visitors should know that access follows membership and entry policies that apply to the facility.
The building itself is a former Dairy Farm Depot, an important location in Hong Kong's trading history. This conversion shows how the city preserved its older structures while giving them new purposes.
