Regent Hong Kong has been named Hong Kong Best Hotel in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2026, placing #5 among the Top 15 Asia City Hotels and #29 on the list of the World’s 100 Best Hotels.
This accolade follows the hotel’s earlier recognition as the #1 Best Hotel in Hong Kong at the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2026, affirming its position as the city’s leading luxury hotel in Hong Kong across both of Travel + Leisure’s flagship programmes this year.
Now in its 31st year, the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards remain one of the most respected measures of excellence in global hospitality, shaped by the votes of seasoned travellers who evaluate each hotel on its sense of place, design, and service.
This year’s honours for Regent Hong Kong also include placement on the Travel + Leisure 500 Best Hotels in the World and recognition among China’s Top 100 Hotels in the Travel + Leisure China Travel Awards, collectively reinforcing its status as one of the most distinguished luxury hotels in Asia and globally.
“What moves us most about this recognition is who it comes from — the travellers themselves,” said Michel Chertouh, Managing Director of Regent Hong Kong. “To be chosen by the readers and guests who know us best is a true honour. Hong Kong moves at a remarkable pace, yet our guests have chosen something rarer — a quietly luxurious haven above the harbour, where the notion of a Personal Haven is not an idea, but a feeling; lived, savoured, and remembered long after the view has faded.”
Harbourfront Icon for the Quietly Luxurious Traveller
Regent Hong Kong’s appeal lies in its seamless blend of contemporary serenity, cinematic design language, and a distinctly Hong Kong sense of place. The hotel’s defining pillars — Harbour, Cinema, and Culture — shape the guest experience in ways both visible and deeply felt, whether through iconic views of Victoria Harbour, film-inspired visual storytelling, or culturally rooted programmes created with intention.
For years, the hotel has been expressed through the Regent Story, a visual narrative informed by cinema-inspired photography, where each frame is meticulously composed to evoke mood and capture a moment. Today, that sensibility extends beyond the lens and into the guest’s lived experience. The story is no longer simply observed from afar; it is tasted, felt, and quietly inhabited through an effortless interplay of culture, cuisine, and sensory ritual.
Cinematic influences emerge not only in the hotel’s interiors, but also through curated experiences such as A Cinematic Taste of Hong Kong at The Lobby Lounge, where flavour and presentation evoke mood, memory, and narrative. Cultural encounters further deepen this connection, offering guests intimate ways to engage with the city — from artisan-led mahjong tile painting and private kung fu sessions to evening rituals that gently transition the day into night.
A Dining Destination Where Every Table Feels Like a Stage
Six acclaimed restaurants and bars define Regent Hong Kong’s dining destination, many framed by sweeping harbour views. Lai Ching Heenelevates Cantonese cuisine into quiet artistry, while Nobu Hong Kong brings its world-renowned Japanese-Peruvian expression to the waterfront. The Steak House transforms the grill into a craft experience, with prime cuts and its storied salad bar remaining a benchmark in the city.
Qura Bar offers a refined setting for rare spirits, cocktails, and conversation, while Harbourside presents one of Hong Kong’s most beloved buffets against the glittering harbour. At The Lobby Lounge, afternoon tea unfolds beside a panorama regarded as among the most captivating in the city.
Together, these six distinct venues create a dining destination unlike any other in Hong Kong — where every table feels like a stage, and taste, place, and view come into perfect balance. Discover each restaurant and its accolades at the dining destination.
Regent Hong Kong’s Continued Recognition as a Leading Luxury Hotel in Asia
