Regent Hong Kong has once again claimed the top spot among the city’s luxury hotels, with readers of Travel + Leisure naming it the Best Hotel in Hong Kong at the Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2026.
The recognition marks the third consecutive year that the waterfront hotel has won the title, reinforcing its position as one of Hong Kong’s most celebrated luxury hospitality addresses.
Hong Kong’s appeal has long been defined by its dramatic skyline, harbour views and fast-paced energy. Against this backdrop, the city’s leading hotels continue to compete through exceptional design, personalised service, destination dining and unforgettable guest experiences.
This year’s Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific 2026 results highlight a strong showing from Hong Kong’s luxury hotel sector, with several established names returning to the list.

Regent Hong Kong Continues Winning Momentum
Since reopening in 2023, Regent Hong Kong has quickly re-established itself as one of the city’s most sought-after luxury hotels.
The transformation was led by designer Chi Wing Lo, who reimagined the waterfront landmark as a refined sanctuary overlooking Victoria Harbour. The hotel’s contemporary rooms and suites are designed around panoramic views of the harbour, skyline and surrounding mountains.
Dining remains another major highlight. The hotel is home to two-Michelin-starred Lai Ching Heen, known for refined Cantonese cuisine, alongside The Steak House and Qura Bar, which combines cocktails, rare spirits and Mediterranean-inspired dishes with spectacular harbour views.
Among the hotel’s most exclusive accommodations are its three signature suites, each featuring expansive outdoor terraces and private plunge pools or Jacuzzis.
Multiple Travel + Leisure Accolades in 2026
Regent Hong Kong’s latest recognition follows another major achievement at the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2026, where the hotel was named Hong Kong’s Best Hotel and ranked among the Top 15 Asia City Hotels and the World’s 100 Best Hotels.
The hotel was also included in the Travel + Leisure 500 Best Hotels in the World and recognised among China’s Top 100 Hotels at the Travel + Leisure China Travel Awards.
Together, these accolades highlight Regent Hong Kong’s growing influence within Asia’s luxury hospitality landscape.
“A Quietly Luxurious Haven Above the Harbour”
Michel Chertouh, Managing Director of Regent Hong Kong, said the recognition was especially meaningful because it came directly from travellers.
“What moves us most about this recognition is who it comes from — the travellers themselves. To be chosen by the readers and guests who know us best is a true honour.”
He added:
“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.”
A Waterfront Icon Built Around Hong Kong’s Sense of Place
Regent Hong Kong’s appeal comes from its combination of contemporary design, cinematic aesthetics and a strong connection to the destination.
The hotel’s three signature pillars — Harbour, Cinema and Culture — shape the guest journey through immersive experiences that reflect Hong Kong’s identity.
From sweeping views of Victoria Harbour to film-inspired design details and culturally focused programmes, Regent Hong Kong aims to offer more than a luxury stay. Instead, it positions itself as a calm retreat within one of the world’s most dynamic cities.
