Winner: Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong

With an enviable location and exceptional service, this refined hotel goes above and beyond on many levels, especially when it comes to the recently renovated rooms and star-studded dining. The fantastic lineup includes the three-Michelin-starred Caprice, the two-starred Lung King Heen and the glittering Argo bar, which also serves an impressive breakfast buffet. Don’t overlook the spa and rooftop pool: the latter appears to spill into the harbour and provides some of the best views in the city.

“Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong has the best pool in the city – the view and the cabanas cannot be beaten.” – Estyn Chung, industry expert and Cathay Members’ Choice Awards 2024 panellist

From the moment guests enter Upper House Hong Kong, they can feel an atmospheric shift from busy Admiralty to a serene sanctuary. Designed by André Fu, the effortlessly elegant hotel is known for its generously sized suites that feel more like residences than hotel rooms. Subdued hues and panoramic views in all directions add to the atmosphere, and Upper House Hong Kong’s acclaimed restaurant, Salisterra, offers vibrant Mediterranean cuisine above the clouds on the 49th floor.

Artistic, stylish, sophisticated. The Rosewood Hong Kong raised the bar when it debuted on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront in 2019. Designed by Tony Chi, the spacious rooms showcase rich hues, premium fabrics and talk-of-the-town marble bathrooms. It’s also a red-hot dining destination with 11 restaurants and bars that travel around the world in flavours. Before checking out, recharge at the breezy rooftop pool and Asaya wellness sanctuary, then explore Victoria Dockside just outside.

Fresh from a massive makeover, the Regent has returned to the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade after nearly 20 years as the InterContinental. Chi Wing Lo, the Hong Kong-born architect behind the brand-new look, makes excellent use of neutral hues and natural materials to create a calming environment that spotlights the fantastic harbour views at every opportunity. Moreover, a rooftop pool and a smattering of top-notch restaurants like Nobu and two-Michelin-starred Lai Ching Heen round out the experience.

Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong

For over sixty years, the Mandarin Oriental has welcomed a steady stream of celebrities and world leaders. The glamorous guestrooms – adorned with rich wood, leather and silk – overlook Central's buzzing streets or Victoria Harbour. Loyal devotees also appreciate the exceptional service, spa and restaurants: Captain’s Bar, Man Wah and The Chinnery are local institutions, and the recent addition of The Aubrey, a contemporary Japanese izakaya, proves this old dog can learn new tricks.
