HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 December 2025 - Regent Hong Kong has once again secured its place among the world’s finest, earning prestigious accolades in the newly released La Liste 2026 rankings.

Strengthening its reputation as a top hotel and restaurant in Hong Kong, the iconic luxury property has been named one of the Top 1,000 Hotels Worldwide, while its celebrated Cantonese restaurant, Lai Ching Heen, has been honoured among the Top 1,000 Restaurants globally.

Its annual rankings offer an objective snapshot of the world’s greatest hotels and dining destinations. Regent Hong Kong’s dual placement is a powerful endorsement of its excellence, design, and uncompromising service.

“To have both our hotel and acclaimed restaurant, Lai Ching Heen, recognised by an algorithm that aggregates trusted global reviews is a powerful validation of our team’s unwavering dedication to excellence. Achieving such recognition within just two years of our return is truly inspiring and reinforces our commitment to sharing Regent Hong Kong’s timeless elegance and world-class hospitality with the world.”
