Regent Hotels & Resorts: Where Heritage Meets Modern Luxury

Regent Hotels & Resorts is a legendary name in the world of luxury hospitality, revered for pioneering a new standard of elegance since its founding in 1970 by hotelier Robert H. Burns. As the first international luxury hotel brand to originate from Asia, Regent built its reputation on iconic properties like the original Regent Hong Kong and the Beverly Wilshire (made famous by Pretty Woman), introducing industry-first concepts such as the five-fixture bathroom and the all-villa resort.

After a carefully managed evolution through various owners, the brand entered a transformative new chapter in 2018 when IHG Hotels & Resorts acquired a majority stake, positioning Regent as its most prestigious, "upper luxury" brand . Today, Regent is jointly owned by IHG and Taiwan's Silks Hotel Group, and it is in the midst of a deliberate and stunning global revival.

The modern Regent experience is defined by a philosophy of "majestic intimacy," offering guests a personal haven that balances sophisticated design with intuitive service. Each property is meticulously crafted to reflect a unique design ethos: 50% neutral and organic, 40% contrasting elements, and 10% imaginative extravagance, ensuring every hotel feels both timeless and distinctly connected to its locale. This vision is brought to life in flagship properties like the completely reimagined Regent Hong Kong, the beachfront serenity of Regent Santa Monica Beach (featuring a Guerlain spa), and the all-suite luxury of Regent Bali Canggu.

With a portfolio of open hotels in key gateway cities and resort destinations—from Cannes and Shanghai to Porto Montenegro—and a robust pipeline of future openings, Regent is once again setting the benchmark for what modern luxury travel should feel like.

Regent Hotels & Resorts is synonymous with timeless elegance and understated luxury, and its FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) is meticulously curated to reflect this ethos. Each piece is selected to harmonize sophisticated design with residential comfort, creating spaces that are both visually stunning and deeply functional. The FF&E portfolio features a blend of contemporary craftsmanship and classic touches, utilizing rich materials, bespoke furnishings, and subtle artistic details. This approach ensures that every property offers a seamless, immersive environment where intuitive luxury is woven into the fabric of the guest experience.
