Hot on the heels of Hong Kong’s Bar Leone topping this year’s World’s 50 Best Bars list, another popular venue of ours has claimed the top spot as the best in the world. Rosewood Hong Kong has officially been awarded with the number one position on the prestigious list of The World’s 50 Best Hotels, as well as claiming the Best Hotel in Asia.
This marks the third year in a row that this glamorous hotel on the Tsim Sha Tsui harbourfront has ranked within the top five on this list, having secured number two in 2023 and number three in 2024. With 413 luxurious rooms and event spaces occupying 43 floors in the Rosewood Tower, the Rosewood Hong Kong is home to 11 dining concepts including the one-Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant The Legacy House, classic French fare at Marmo Bistro, casual Italian at Bluhouse, and one-Michelin-starred refined Indian dishes at Chaat. Let’s not also forget the hotel’s sultry jazz-filled bar DarkSide, which was ranked number 17 in the Asia’s 50 Best Bars list last year.
Meanwhile, Asaya is Rosewood’s fantastic integrated wellness concept, which includes a spa, an outdoor infinity pool, a fitness centre, lodges for customisable wellness-focused stays, and exclusive usage of products by Parisian beauty brand Guerlain. There is also the Rosewood Residences, a range of 186 rooms and apartments for rental stays at the pinnacle of luxury, which includes access to a private club, special services, and dedicated amenities.
As for the rest of Hong Kong’s many excellent hotels, the Upper House sits at number 10, while the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong debuts on list at number 41. In the extended 51-100 list, The Peninsula Hong Kong has claimed the number 54 spot, and the Four Seasons Hong Kong took number 84. Six of the world’s top 10 hotels are all in Asia, with the Thai capital truly on a roll as the Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River and the nearby Capella Bangkok were awarded the second and third best hotels in the world, respectively.
