Hong Kong’s position as a world-class luxury destination was further solidified in 2024 as two of its leading hotels ranked within the top five of the prestigious World’s 50 Best Hotels list. Rosewood Hong Kong and The Upper House both earned spots among the best, with Rosewood taking the No. 3 position and The Upper House claiming No. 5.

Rosewood Hong Kong, located on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, epitomises luxury living with its striking design and unmatched views over Victoria Harbour. Ranked third on the 2024 World’s 50 Best Hotels list, the 413-room hotel blends Hong Kong’s cultural heritage with modern sophistication. Boasting ten elegant restaurants and lounges, the holistic Asaya wellness sanctuary, and premium experiences via The Manor Club, Rosewood has cemented its status as a global luxury leader.

“It is an incredible privilege that Rosewood Hong Kong has once again been recognized in The World’s 50 Best Hotels list this year,” says Hugo Montanari, Managing Director of Rosewood Hong Kong. “This accolade is a testament to our team’s continued unwavering dedication to creating exceptional experiences that reflect both the soul of Hong Kong and the timeless elegance of Rosewood.”

Following closely in fifth place, The Upper House offers a tranquil contrast to Hong Kong’s urban energy. Nestled in the heart of Pacific Place, this sleek, minimalist hotel is known for its understated luxury and personalised service. With just 117 rooms, including 21 suites and two penthouses, The Upper House focuses on creating an intimate and peaceful experience, offering guests stunning views of the city and harbour.

Designed by renowned architect André Fu, The Upper House exudes calm with its elegant, spacious interiors, natural materials, and soothing ambiance. Its dining establishment, Salisterra, located on the 49th floor, is celebrated for its modern Mediterranean cuisine and panoramic views, further enhancing the hotel’s reputation for refined hospitality.

Rosewood’s grandeur and The Upper House’s serene elegance both reflect the city’s diverse appeal, making it a premier destination for luxury travellers. The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2024 list, determined by over 600 anonymous global experts, highlights the best in hospitality, and Hong Kong’s showing on this prestigious ranking reaffirms its status as a leader in world-class travel.

Tim Brooke-Webb, Managing Director of The World’s 50 Best Hotels, emphasised during the awards ceremony, “Each of these hotels offers something unique, and their rankings reflect their ability to inspire and enchant travellers from all corners of the globe.”
