Regent Hong Kong celebrates culinary and cultural excellence at the Tatler Best Hong Kong and Macau Awards 2025

The inaugural Tatler Best Hong Kong and Macau Awards took place at Regent Hong Kong on June 9, marking a new chapter in the region’s hospitality scene.

Later in the evening, Regent Hong Kong was named Best New Hotel, an honour that marked its re-emergence in the hospitality landscape. The hotel’s own Qura Bar also claimed a place among Tatler’s Best 20 Bars, an accolade reserved for the city’s most exceptional drinking spots. Its presence as both venue and award recipient spoke to a broader shift in how hotels are redefining their role within the cultural fabric of the city.

More than a simple partnership, the collaboration between Regent Hong Kong and Tatler Best reflected a shared belief that hospitality plays a vital role in shaping a city’s cultural identity.
