We just had the chance to spend a couple of nights at the Rosewood Hong Kong, which is the hotel on this trip that I was most excited to check out.
Rosewood in general is a great hotel brand, and the Hong Kong property is the company’s flagship — Rosewood is based in Hong Kong, the hotel is owned by the Cheng family, which also owns Rosewood. So this is a point of pride for the brand and owners, and Rosewood CEO Sonia Cheng was heavily involved in designing this property, and clearly no expense was spared.
On The 50 Best Hotels 2025 list, the Rosewood Hong Kong took the number one spot, which is obviously a massive honor. I wondered if the hotel would actually live up to the hype. While I think that list does a good job highlighting excellent hotels, I’m absolutely not willing to declare any property as the best in the world (on top of that, the list is heavily skewed toward larger hotels — there’s not a single safari lodge on there, for example).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
