These Are Hong Kong’s Best Hotels, Pools, Spas and More in 2026

THERE’S NO DENYING Hong Kong’s electric appeal. Its unique urban landscape, hilly topography and 24/7 energy are complemented by luxury hospitality that, like its skyscrapers, soars stratospheric heights. Its standout contenders turn everything up to 11, whether you’re talking polished service, wow design, haute dining or sheer room size. This year again sees repeat winners—quite the flex in this caliber of luxury—who are somehow able to keep dialing in their offerings to beat the competition.

BEST HOTELS

1. Regent Hong Kong

Readers can’t get enough of the Regent Hong Kong since its reopening in 2023, voting it best hotel in the city for the third consecutive year. Designer Chi Wing Lo reimagined this waterfront landmark as an understated haven of tranquility, with contemporary rooms and suites that perfectly frame the harbor or skyline and mountains. Dining is equally notable, with two-Michelin-starred Lai Ching Heen for refined Cantonese cuisine, The Steak House for carnivores, and Qura Bar serving cocktails and rare spirits alongside Mediterranean fare―all with those same knockout views. Its three signature suites are especially covetable, each with sweeping outdoor terrace and a private plunge pool or Jacuzzi.
