If you’ve ever stood at the edge of Victoria Harbour and wondered what luxury looks like from the inside out, Rosewood Hong Kong just answered that question — loudly. In a glittering ceremony held in London on October 30, 2025, The World’s 50 Best Hotels named Rosewood Hong Kong the No.1hotel on the planet for 2025. And it’s not just a win for the brand but also a defining moment for Hong Kong’s hospitality scene.
The 1st rank marks a meteoric rise for the Rosewood, which opened in 2019 as the flagship of the Rosewood Hotels & Resorts group.
Located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui’s Victoria Dockside, the hotel boasts 413 rooms and suites, each a masterclass in modern Asian minimalism, designed by the legendary Tony Chi. But it’s not just about aesthetics — Rosewood Hong Kong has earned its crown through consistency, scale, and a deeply personalized approach to service.
Guests are welcomed into a world where wellness is holistic, dining is Michelin-starred, and art is everywhere. The Asaya wellness center offers integrative therapies that blend Eastern traditions with Western science, while restaurants like CHAAT and HENRY serve up culinary experiences that rival the city’s best. For those staying in suites, the Manor Club provides a private sanctuary with curated amenities and bespoke service.
What sets Rosewood apart is its ability to deliver intimacy at scale. Whether you’re sipping a cocktail overlooking the harbor or browsing the hotel’s curated art collection, every detail feels intentional. It’s this balance of bold vision and quiet refinement that has propelled Rosewood Hong Kong to the top of the global list.
Hong Kong didn’t stop at one entry. The city proudly placed two more hotels in the 2025 rankings: The Upper House, coming in at No.10, and the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, ranked No.41.
The Upper House, perched above Pacific Place in Admiralty, is known for its serene, design-forward interiors and intuitive service. Meanwhile, the Mandarin Oriental remains a timeless icon, currently undergoing a major renovation to elevate its legacy of refined Asian hospitality.
Meanwhile, the remaining spots for this year’s top five include:
2. Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River – Bangkok
3. Capella Bangkok – Bangkok
4. Passalacqua – Lake Como
5. Raffles Singapore – Singapore
