As per the Condé Nast Traveler Guide to the Best Hotels in Hong Kong, “Many new hotels are dubbed an instant classic, but few earn that praise quite so literally as Regent’s latest Hong Kong outpost. Since last November, after a top-to-bottom revamp spearheaded by Hong Kong-born designer Chi Wing Lo, the all-caps Regent emblem once again gleams golden over Victoria Harbour. Regent’s facelift has rung in a new era for this beloved property. Still, its trump card, luckily, remained unchanged: Few hotels offer a better vantage point over Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong’s neon-lit skyscraper jumble.”  

Regent Hong Kong Managing Director Michel Chertouh comments, “On behalf of our exceptional team, we’re delighted to be recognised by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler in the USA and China as one of the top hotels. This distinction reflects the dedication and passion of our colleagues to make each guest’s stay a truly personalised experience that creates lasting memories.” He adds, “These accolades, following our total transformation and reopening, recognise Regent Hong Kong’s commitment to being at the forefront of luxury hospitality excellence and innovation in Hong Kong.”
