For the second consecutive year, Regent Hong Kong has been named the #1 hotel in Hong Kong at the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2025, reaffirming its position as the city’s definitive standard for modern luxury. The accolade is a reflection of both global acclaim and deep local resonance—recognition from a discerning network of tastemakers and travelers who understand that true luxury lies in thoughtful detail, not just opulence.
Set along the edge of Victoria Harbour, with sweeping cinematic views of Hong Kong’s skyline, Regent Hong Kong occupies a singular place in the city’s hospitality narrative. Once an icon, now entirely reimagined, the hotel has emerged from a transformative revival as a haven of serenity in the midst of one of the world’s most dynamic urban centers.
Originally renowned as one of Asia’s grandest hotels, Regent Hong Kong’s relaunch has preserved the grandeur of its past while articulating a deeply modern point of view. Designed by Chi Wing Lo, the property is a masterclass in restraint and refinement. Spaces flow quietly from one to the next. The palette is serene. Textures—stone, silk, wood—speak softly.
What defines the experience, however, is the consistent undercurrent of contrast: panoramic harbour views framed by tranquil interiors, refined gastronomy set against the buzz of the city outside, and a sense of effortless calm delivered in one of the world’s most kinetic environments.
Behind the accolades is a team philosophy that places emotional resonance above transactional luxury. Regent Experience Agents guide guests through tailored moments—quiet ones and celebratory ones alike—with precision and empathy. These curated experiences are not just gestures, but extensions of the hotel’s design philosophy: calm, intentional, and always in tune with the guest’s rhythm.
“We are grateful for this continued accolade from our loyal guests and the discerning community of global tastemakers,” says Michel Chertouh, Managing Director of Regent Hong Kong.

Dining is integral to the Regent identity, and at Regent Hong Kong, each culinary destination is designed as a journey in its own right. Whether through elevated Cantonese traditions, international artistry, or harbourfront cocktails delivered with precision, the hotel’s culinary team creates moments that linger long past the final course.
It’s not about grandiosity—it’s about intention. Every plate, every pairing, every presentation is part of a larger narrative: that food, like design and service, should deepen the emotional connection to place.
While located in the heart of Kowloon, the hotel feels suspended from the city’s chaos. In guest rooms, dubbed Personal Havens, interiors are cocoon-like—crafted to amplify stillness while showcasing commanding views of the water. Expansive picture windows frame the skyline like moving artwork, and each space encourages pause: to watch, to breathe, to feel.
This balance—urban immersion on the outside, meditative luxury within—is what makes Regent Hong Kong so uniquely calibrated for today’s traveler. It doesn’t overwhelm. It restores.
At a time when luxury hospitality can be over-programmed or underwhelming, Regent Hong Kong reminds us of what matters most: authenticity, space to exhale, and service that speaks to the guest without ever raising its voice.
As it continues to collect global awards and accolades, the property stands as both a destination and a model—proof that excellence in hospitality is not about being everywhere, but about being precisely here.
