Best Luxury Hotels in Hong Kong
The Peninsula Hong Kong, Four Seasons Hong Kong, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, Rosewood Hong Kong, The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, Regent Hong Kong, The Upper House, W Hong Kong, and Kerry Hotel Hong Kong. Rosewood Hong Kong topping global best-hotel rankings in recent years is proof this harbour still produces addresses that matter well beyond Asia, and the competition around it runs unusually deep for one city. We weigh the harbour view itself, since a Kowloon-side room facing the island beats almost anything else in the room, the afternoon tea and bar scene, and how a hotel handles a typhoon signal without the stay falling apart. This is the Hong Kong building alone.
