The best hotels for 2025 were announced at a ceremony at London’s Old Billingsgate on Thursday, with luxury Chinese hotel Rosewood Hong Kong finally taking out the number one spot after featuring in the top three since the awards’ inception in 2023. It marks the third edition of the annual hotel rankings for the 50 Best group, best-known for its annual global top-50 restaurants and bars lists. Compiled by UK-based company William Reed Business Media, the hotel rankings’ debut in 2023 marked the group’s first global launch since turning its attention to bars in 2009. The Thai capital made a splash this year with two hotels in the top 3, and three in the top 10. Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River came in second place, while last year’s No.1 Capella Bangkok followed in third, with Mandarin Oriental Bangkok rounding out the city list with a No.7 ranking.
