Just the other week, Rosewood Hong Kong was named the world’s best hotel. It won this accolade on the 2025 World’s 50 Best Hotels list. Open since 2019, the hotel has rapidly become a major player in the luxury hospitality world. Now, only six years later, it is gaining national attention for those efforts. Nestled on the Kowloon waterfront, this 65-storey skyscraper boasts 413 elegantly designed rooms that offer breathtaking views of the iconic Hong Kong skyline.
Emma Sleight, head of content for The World’s 50 Best Hotels, praised Rosewood Hong Kong’s remarkable service and exceptional guest experiences. She emphasized that the hotel represents a “true celebration of the very best properties from 22 destinations across six continents.” This latest accolade shines an international spotlight on just some of what Rosewood Hong Kong has to offer. It indirectly cements Asia’s status as the world’s premier luxury travel destination, for business and for pleasure.
The hotel’s swift rise to prominence is particularly noteworthy as it surpassed last year’s winner, Capella Bangkok. That mixture of cutting-edge design and empathetic service is part of what’s made Rosewood such a strong player on the luxury hotel battlefield. Angus Pitkethley, the energetic new director of sales and marketing for Rosewood Hong Kong, was equally taken aback—and appreciative. He was genuinely thrilled to be the recipient of such prestigious honour.
“This exceptional hotel offers world-class service and sensational guest experiences in the heart of one of the world’s most bustling and dynamic destinations,” – Emma Sleight, head of content for The World’s 50 Best Hotels.
The hotel proudly combines modern luxury and a dash of local culture, taking cues from Hong Kong’s colorful streets and buzzing lifestyle. Luxury hotel Rosewood Hong Kong has nightly rates starting at $650. It lures a high-end audience seeking unparalleled pampering and five-star service. The hotel’s success from the start can be attributed to its hardworking staff. Their enthusiasm for hospitality and passion for the city combine to create an incredible experience.
Pitkethley highlighted this aspect during the awards ceremony held in London, stating, “We have an incredible team back at the hotel, who are not only passionate about hospitality, but really passionate about Hong Kong.” This promise to present the most luxurious guest experience has surely been a factor in the hotel’s celebrated history.
Sleight further remarked on Rosewood Hong Kong’s impact within the luxury market, noting that its top ranking reinforces Asia’s position in the luxury travel landscape. The hotel has immediately become an identifying characteristic of Hong Kong’s skyline, wooing international travelers and local residents just the same.
