Regent Hotels & Resorts, a leader in luxury hospitality, is pleased to announce that Regent Beijing is in the top 30 of Asia's Best City Hotels and the fifth best city hotel in Beijing in Travel + Leisure's 2013 World's Best Awards list. This is the first time Regent Beijing has featured among the top city hotels in Asia in the magazine's annual ranking.

Every year, Travel + Leisure readers vote on their favorite hotels, resorts, spas, airlines, cruise lines, tour operators,
rental-car agencies, and more in their annual World's Best Awards survey.

"We are deeply honored by the recognition of the Travel + Leisure readers. Regent Beijing is well-known for its gracious and intuitive service, its excellent location, proximity to main points of interest as well as its commitment to provide a luxurious experience to all its guests," says Steven Pan, Chairman, Regent Hotels & Resorts.
