For the world’s elite private banks, office space is more than just a place to house staff. It’s where clients meet, deals are made, and generational relationships formed.

Often housing bespoke artwork and well-being centres, while offering stunning views and state-of-the-art facilities, offices are a statement for the bank’s value proposition. And in private banking – being in the business of impressing the world’s leading entrepreneurs and globally connected ultra high net worth families – only the best will do.

APB previously highlighted a selection of private banking offices in the region to showcase their impressive features. With that, APB’s readers crowned Julius Baer’s office at Two Taikoo Place, Quarry Bay, as The Best Private Banking Office in Hong Kong.

LGT Hong Kong and Bank of Singapore came in second and third place, respectively.

Banks in Hong Kong also appear to be on the move, looking to make bigger and better overtures to potential and existing clients alike. UBS is already making preparations to move into its new West Kowloon office in 2026 atop the high-speed rail to Mainland China – a clear nod to its commitment to clients in the wider Greater Bay Area. Local media reports also indicate that J.P. Morgan, too, may be eyeing West Kowloon‘s culture district.
