A destination that just gets hospitality, Hong Kong is home to a number of the world's most wonderful urban hotels.

With standards of service and design in this vast metropolis already so finessed, it makes sense that its very best hotel suites go to extreme measures to really impress. And now with three-weekly direct flights linking the Saudi Arabia capital of Riyadh with Hong Kong, passengers can now enjoy a faster and more seamless travel experience between these two vibrant destinations.

From a waterfront retreat with an outdoor rooftop infinity pool that seems to float above Victoria Harbour to a celeb favourite with unrivalled views that soars 117 storeys high, these are the most mesmerising and indulgent hotel suites in Hong Kong.

As the group's flagship property, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong delivery big time for guests in every room category: service is stellar; among its many top-tier restaurants, handsome Man Wah serves some of the best cantonese you'll find in the city; and spa treatments are heavenly, Little surprise then, that its signature Mandarin Suite feels so special. Crammed with artworks and antiques — a Qing Dynasty court robe hangs on one wall, and a handcrafted Tang-style horse display there — it has genuine character and is refreshingly homely. Among its standout amenities, a sprawling dining room and kitchenette allow for in-suite entertaining; extending across two sides of the building, an elongated balcony provides sweeping views of the surrounding Central district which, as the name suggests, is invariably buzzy and lively.

Peninsula Suite - Gym Ritz Carlton Hong Kong

A true grande dame, The Peninsula Hong Kong has welcomed local families and the world's most privileged travellers alike for close to a century. The VVVIPs check into the staggering Peninsula Suite, an elegant 26th-floor Hong Kong Island-facing eyrie where everything is clearly of impeccable quality. You'll spot a 10-person dining table hewn from burr walnut and a baby grand piano under the cavernous living room's double height ceilings; step onto the balcony at 8pm to enjoy an unparalleled view of the Symphony of Lights, the light and sound show that illuminates the skyscrapers that frame Victoria Harbour nightly. Explore more and you'll discover a private gym, kitchen, screening room and top-class tech, although one of the most pertinent UHNW amenities lie elsewhere: the two helipads on the hotel's rooftop mean on-the-go guests can transfer rapidly to and from the airport, or enjoy exhilarating aerial tours of the city.

Regent Hotel Hong Kong Presidential Suite - Swimming Pool

So close to Victoria Harbour that it is effectively cantilevered over the water, the recently launched Regent Hong Kong delivers cinematic views that truly dazzle. Most bedrooms here enjoy exceptional panoramas that extend past a procession of yachts and barges towards Hong Kong Island's skyscrapers and verdant mountains, but the vista is most magnetic from the slick-as-can-be Presidential Suite. Featuring a double-height, glass-walled living room with chic central fireplace, dining room and private fitness facilities, it's a mesmerising setting for soirées or special family gatherings, and it stands out even more through its expansive terrace with a showstopper infinity pool. This is undoubtedly one of the most glamorous hideaways in the city.

The Shangri-La Suite comes in at 222sqm, add a connecting suite to make this a three-bedroom

Island Shangri La Hong Kong family Suite 4

Though it was alway a reliable choice for an upmarket vacation, a slew of recent upgrades have elevate Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong into one of the most innovative and exciting luxury hotels in the city. Turns out that complicates things when it comes to pinpointing its best suite; plenty would pick the newly updated Shangri-La Suite, with its evocative pastoral murals and dramatic mirrored bathtub, but where the hotel really stands apart is through the consideration it pays to younger travellers, as exemplified by its fairytale-like Family Suites. Spread across a dedicated family-focused floor, these suites celebrate different themes (such as safari adventures, Hong Kong wonders and even an underwater world) and are packed with toys, personalised mementos, fancy-dress outfits and treats. Complementing this offering The Hangout and The Pantry, on the same floor, are kid-centric lounges featuring a play-space and relaxation zone, and in The Pantry healthy snacks and meal-prep stations, in addition to a washing machine and tumble-dryer. When it comes to making travelling with little ones a delight, it feels like the Shangri-La team has thought of everything.

Classic Traditional Presidential Suite at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong

The Stats: 400sqm: one bedroom, sleeps two

Grand Hyatt Hong Kong 2

It may not be as flashy as many of its competitor properties, but the longstanding Grand Hyatt Hong Kong has form in handling VIPs. Right by the city's Convention and Exhibition Centre, the hotel has hosted countless heads-of-state, business tycoons and international celebrities. They typically stay in one of its two identically sized Presidential Suites. A touch grander in its décor, the Classic Traditional Suite is awash in gold and bronze detailing, ornate crystal-work, in addition to European and Chinese art pieces. Mindful that this destination is where deals could be struck, there is plenty of space for entertaining: two distinct reception rooms, a grand piano and a 12-person dining room, all remain at guests' disposal.

Three-Bedroom Suite at Rosewood Hong Kong

The Stats: 230sqm: three bedrooms, sleeps seven

Rosewood Residence Hong Kong Residences_Three Bedroom_3

Rosewood Residence Hong Kong Residences_Three Bedroom_4

Occupying a landmark tower on Kowloon's waterfront, Rosewood Hotels' global flagship property is the epitome of 'no expense spared'. Bedroom walls are threaded with Loro Piana wools, megabucks artworks such as a Henry Moore bronze on the lawn, are casually cast here and there throughout the suite. It is surprising then, that this signature suite is so glossy and slick, with its lacquered woodwork, endless marble and mirrored columns artfully displaying refracted views of the cityscape beyond. Alongside those indisputable good looks and savvy round-the-clock butler service, guests also benefit from access to the hotel's Manor Club. Truly one of the world's best hotel lounges, the venue perched on the 40th-floor, with its meeting spaces and games rooms offering decadent dining experiences throughout the day, making it feel like one of the most exclusive hideaways in the city.

Ritz-Carlton Suite at Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong

Ritz-Carlton Suite at Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong

You'll need a head for heights to stay at Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, one of the world's highest hotels, and especially so if you check into its 117th-floor Ritz-Carlton Suite. And, as you'd expect, the views are nothing short of breathtaking; stretching beyond the skyscrapers to reveal nature reserves, sleepy islands and the channel where Victoria Harbour merges into the South China Sea. Previously home to celebrities and royalty — Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Lady Gaga are among the confirmed guests — the suite itself makes a valiant effort to match the vistas beyond. A quirky circular office allows for remote working, a gargantuan bathroom features an inviting window-side bathtub and a fragrant wooden sauna, endless unobstructed sky views in every direction make it feel like you've left the rest of the world behind, making this one of the most romantic retreats in the city.

The André Fu Suite at The Upper House

The Stats: 182sqm: one bedroom, sleeps two

The Upper House_Andre Fu Suite_Dining Room (6)

The Upper House_Andre Fu Suite_Bedroom

Opened in 2009, The Upper House was the first hotel project conceived by local interior designer André Fu; it is a testament to his innate good taste that the address has remained one of Hong Kong's most celebrated properties from that time onwards. The owners of The Upper House clearly agree, as in 2021 they again collaborated with Fu to create a curated suite bearing his name. On the 48th-floor, decorated with mid-century-inspired furnishings from his homewares collection, this signature suite has the feel of an upmarket apartment that's perfect for relaxed parties; an elegant living room with low-slung furniture and an inviting ottoman, a dining room with an 18-person dinner table, almost demands that guest here host at least a supper to honour the decadent decor.

The Presidential Suite at Kerry Hotel

Kerry Hotel Hong Kong - Presidential Suite - living room 2

Despite its vast scale, with the hotel boasting 546-keys and its slightly out-of-the-way location, the Kerry Hotel certainly delivers when it comes to standout suites. Its Presidential Suite is substantial, and the beautiful harbour views make it distinctive from others on this list through their orientation away from the landmark skyscrapers, and towards the characterful, higgledy-piggledy residential tower blocks that fringe the edges of the city centre. Finished in pales blues and glints of gold, the interiors are highly tasteful. Another perk of this suite is the club access, where a pretty afternoon tea is a highlight of its generous offering.

Kerry Hotel Hong Kong - Presidential Suite - living room 2

Another André Fu-designed suite, this handsome, masculine address is awash with cool platinums and rich chocolatey browns - making it an imposing, impressive place for discreet business meetings. But there's a more laid back side to this indulgent suite, with a lazy Susan placed atop the the large circular dining table making the dining room a great spot for a casual family feast (and there's a well-equipped kitchenette to facilitate on-site catering). The biggest in the property, the marble bathroom's freestanding half-sphere tub is another standout amenity.
