RISE Conference is Web Summit's Asian technology event, bringing 15,000+ tech professionals, startups, and investors to Hong Kong's AsiaWorld-Expo each July for three days of high-energy sessions, startup pitches, and business networking. As a gateway between East and West, Hong Kong is the ideal location for RISE, which connects global investors with Asia's most dynamic tech ecosystems. Hong Kong hotels throughout the city serve as convenient and vibrant bases for RISE Conference delegates.
The grande dame of Asian luxury hotels, The Peninsula has anchored the Kowloon waterfront since 1928. Its fleet of Rolls-Royces, legendary afternoon tea in The Lobby, and rooms offering some of Hong Kong's finest harbour views make it a defining experience.
Since 1963 the Mandarin has set the standard for Hong Kong luxury — its harbour-facing rooms, impeccable Cantonese restaurant Man Wah, and legendary Clipper Lounge are as celebrated as ever after a recent top-to-tail renovation.
Sited atop Pacific Place, The Upper House is the city's most architecturally considered luxury hotel — Anouschka Hempel's minimalist design philosophy, floor-to-ceiling harbour views, and a no-charge minibar policy make it the insider favourite.
Opened in 2019, Rosewood Hong Kong occupies the Victoria Dockside complex and immediately raised the bar — its 65-storey tower delivers unbroken Victoria Harbour views, six restaurants including the acclaimed Holt's Café, and Asaya's world-class wellness centre.
Perched at the IFC complex on the edge of Victoria Harbour, Four Seasons Hong Kong houses Caprice — one of the city's most celebrated French restaurants — alongside harbour-view suites that are among the finest in Asia.
A perennial favourite on the Kowloon side, The Langham's Cantonese restaurant T'ang Court holds three Michelin stars and its Chuan Spa is widely regarded as one of Hong Kong's best. A refined, timeless choice steps from the harbour promenade.
