Abstract
Weary shoppers deep in the maze of Tsim Sha Tsui now have a new place to turn to, for a rest, a cappucino in a comfortable sofa and a spot of surfing too. And it's not Starbucks. The Zino Coffee Bar & Lounge occupies a cosy corner on the mezzanine level of the newly opened Empire Hotel Kowloon. Offering 40 deep, high-back sofas in a dim, quiet setting that could easily accommodate 100 chairs, the beverage outlet is a contrast to the typical hotel bar, where alcohol rather than coffee tends to be the theme. In fact, due to a combination of circumstances, the hotel as a whole is different from others in many other ways.
