Top Five of the World’s Best Hotels in 2023
- Passalacqua Hotel in Italy: This hotel was transformed from a historic 18th-century villa and the former residence of composer Vincenzo Bellini. The hotel is located close to the shores of Lake Como and is in a spectacular terraced garden. With just 24 rooms, it showcases fine Italian craftsmanship amid opulent baroque elegance.
- Rosewood Hong Kong: After opening in 2019, its 65-storey tower has become a striking addition to the Hong Kong skyline. Offering an understated luxury hotel experience with stunning views of Victoria Harbor as the backdrop. Incorporating contemporary artworks into the traditional Chinese octagonal design that symbolizes auspiciousness, it has become the best hotel in Asia this year.
- Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River: Located on the Chao Phraya River, it is constructed with lots of glass, smooth marble, high ceilings, and huge building blocks. The hotel features a multi-level pool area framed by palm trees, a Mediterranean-style garden, and a health spa center inspired by ancient Thai spas. It becomes a well-designed vacation oasis in the middle of a busy city.
- The Upper House in Hong Kong: Known as cutting-edge creative floating above Victoria Harbour, it is located high above Pacific Place in Admiralty. Based on the brutalist appearance of designer Thomas Heatherwick, combined with a red wooden elevator inspired by Japanese torii gates, and the “upward journey” design aesthetic of Asian designer André Fu, the space is filled with a smooth and seamless flow when moving between floors.
- Aman Tokyo in Japan: Located in the center of Tokyo, it is known as serene cloud-brushing minimalism in the Japanese capital. Spanning the bustling financial district, it is located on the 33rd to 38th floors of the 38-story skyscraper. The airy 33rd-floor lobby, with its cathedral-high ceiling, is made of fine white washi paper that reflects abstract seasonal flowers and rocks on the water, framing the iconic landscape that symbolizes Tokyo’s epicness.
