The company was lauded as a haven of discreet luxury and modern sustainability.
Regent Hong Kong claimed victory at the TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2026 - Hong Kong, winning the Luxury Hotel of the Year - Hong Kong and Hotel Renovation of the Year - Hong Kong awards for its complete transformation.
Perched on the edge of Victoria Harbour, the hotel’s award-winning transformation is highlighted by its unparalleled harbour views, recognised with a flawless score of 100 by The Most Perfect View Certified programme, the first hotel in Asia to achieve this distinction. The recognition affirms Regent Hong Kong’s uninterrupted, panoramic views across Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong Island skyline, elevating the hotel as a global icon for view-driven luxury.
From serene harbour-facing rooms and suites to cinematic public spaces, Regent Hong Kong offers guests front-row perspectives of the city’s most celebrated landmarks, including the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, The Peak, IFC, Bank of China Tower and the Hong Kong Observation Wheel. Dining destinations such as The Lobby Lounge, Nobu Hong Kong, Lai Ching Heen, Harbourside, Qura Bar and The Steak House, along with the east-facing infinity spa pools at the Pool Terrace, seamlessly integrate these dramatic harbour views into every moment of the guest journey.
Reopened in late 2023, Regent Hong Kong is now standing as a rare sanctuary of understated elegance. It captures the city’s allure whilst aligning with the needs and values of today’s traveller with innovation and sustainability.
The hotel’s redesign was led by Hong Kong–born, Milan-based designer Chi Wing Lo, who brought a serene aesthetic to his first hotel project. His approach blends Regent’s past with sophistication through the brand’s signature “Beauty of Contrasts.”
The design features natural and sustainable materials such as oak and granite, which replace traditional marble to reduce environmental impact. Key heritage elements, including the hotel’s iconic white marble staircase, have been carefully preserved, whilst new touches like a light metal staircase add a contemporary feel.
Furthermore, all 497 rooms and suites have been reimagined as personal havens, quiet and personalised spaces designed for comfort and reflection. Guests can enjoy windowfront daybeds, artistic “Oasis Baths,” custom-made furniture, and mirrored sliding doors that highlight the harbour’s sweeping views.
Former outdoor troughs outside harbourview rooms have been transformed as well into peaceful stone gardens. Some of its notable features are the hand-crafted bronze bonsai sculptures by local artisans, which reflect the hotel’s blend of craftsmanship and modern design.
Suite guests also enjoy the privacy and tailored service of the Regent Club, a residential-style retreat that offers elevated experiences inspired by Hong Kong’s culture.
Moreover, Regent Hong Kong’s transformation supports IHG Hotels & Resorts’ “Journey to Tomorrow” sustainability commitments, as the renovation prioritised energy-efficient systems, water-saving technologies, and improved waste management. Sustainable materials and smart technology were also integrated throughout the hotel.
These efforts are a testament to the hotel’s commitment to responsible travel, setting a new standard for eco-conscious luxury on the Kowloon harbourfront.
Regent Hong Kong’s luxury experience is both timeless and modern, and this is thanks to its refreshed design, sustainable mindset, and unmatched harbourfront location. In the hotel, guests are being indulged in thoughtful hospitality whilst celebrating its rich heritage.
