Get ready to update your travel bucket list! The Rosewood Hong Kong has officially been named the world’s best hotel, and it’s all thanks to its incredible commitment to luxury hospitality on a grand scale. This prestigious title was awarded by the World’s 50 Best Hotels in late October.
A Beacon of Luxury Hospitality
This isn’t the first time the Rosewood Hong Kong has been recognized; it’s been in the top three for the past two years. But this year, it clinched the coveted No. 1 spot. Situated in a soaring 65-story building with breathtaking views of Victoria Harbour, the hotel boasts 413 rooms and suites, each offering either city or water vistas.
Beyond the stunning views, guests can indulge in top-tier wellness facilities, daily fitness classes, a luxurious spa, and an impressive collection of on-site artwork. Foodies will rejoice with 11 distinct dining and drinking options, and the hotel’s culinary excellence has even earned it three coveted keys from the Michelin Guide – the highest possible distinction.
Why Rosewood Hong Kong Stands Out
The World’s 50 Best Hotels highlighted the Rosewood’s ability to deliver “all-out hospitality for as many guests concurrently.” In a city known for its impressive skyscrapers and luxury accommodations, the Rosewood Hong Kong, which opened in 2019, has become a symbol of modern Asian minimalist hospitality. Its sheer scale allows it to offer an unparalleled experience to a large number of guests without compromising on quality.
Asia Dominates the 2025 List
The Rosewood Hong Kong’s top placement is part of a larger trend: Asia dominated this year’s World’s 50 Best Hotels list, with a remarkable 20 properties earning recognition. Tokyo led the charge with four hotels, while Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Dubai each featured three. Europe also saw strong representation, with London boasting four hotels and the UK and Japan each having five properties on the list.
This year’s list also welcomed 20 new entries, including notable spots like The Mark in New York City and the historic Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro. The Four Seasons group was honored with the Ferrari Trento Most Admired Hotel Group Award, with seven of their properties making the overall list.
