Regent Hong Kong mourns the passing of Mr. Robert H. Burns, the visionary founder of Regent International Hotels, whose pioneering spirit and unwavering dedication redefined luxury hospitality and indelibly shaped Regent Hong Kong into a global icon of elegance and sophistication.

In 1970, Mr. Burns embarked on a transformative journey, establishing Regent International Hotels in partnership with Japan’s Tokyu Group. The unveiling of the first Regent property in Honolulu marked the dawn of a new era, blending Asian warmth with unparalleled global refinement. A decade later, in 1980, Mr. Burns realized his most ambitious vision with the opening of Regent Hong Kong. This landmark moment introduced groundbreaking amenities and an unwavering commitment to exceptional service, earning the hotel worldwide acclaim and the esteemed title of “Best Hotel in the World.”

Throughout his remarkable career, Mr. Burns guided the creation of 18 distinctive luxury hotels in just 22 years, with Regent Hong Kong, celebrated for its breathtaking Victoria Harbour location and timeless elegance, serving as the flagship of his vision. His influence extended far beyond operations, quietly fostering industry growth through education and ardent advocacy.

The return of Regent Hong Kong in 2023 to its iconic Victoria Harbour address marked a new, illustrious chapter for this legendary property—a testament to the enduring influence of Mr. Burns’ vision for refined, guest-centered luxury.

Mr. Burns’ extraordinary vision and dedication to excellence transformed Regent Hong Kong into a beacon of unmatched luxury, inspiring our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional, highly personalized service and culturally meaningful experiences today. We extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all those touched by his remarkable legacy. Michel Chertouh, Managing Director of Regent Hong Kong

Regent Hong Kong remains steadfast in its commitment to honoring Mr. Burns’ legacy by upholding the exceptional standards he established, ensuring his visionary spirit continues to elevate the guest experience and inspire the world of luxury hospitality for generations to come.
