Hugo Montanari, managing director of Rosewood Hong Kong, expressed his pride in the hotel's success and its impact on the city.\n\nRaffles Hotel, the only Singaporean hotel on the list, maintained its presence and secured the second position. Among other Asian properties, Capella Bangkok (No. 2), Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok (No. 3), Atlantis The Royal (No. 4), and Passalacqua on Lake Como (No. 5) rounded out the top five.
