The cream of China’s hotel industry has been selected by a Chinese publication, with the top gongs going to properties in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Hangzhou.

The China Best Design Hotel Awards were awarded last month in Shanghai, with three exclusive properties coming top of the list — The Mira Hong Kong, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel Shanghai and the Four Seasons Hangzhou West Lake.

Presented by The Bund, a Chinese lifestyle magazine, the China Best Design Hotel Awards are chosen by public vote and a panel of international design experts.

This year, it picked the three properties of more than 138 entrants, also naming several other hotels in runner-up categories.

Beijing hotels dominated the list for Best Restaurants, with the Park Hyatt Beijing, Aman at Summer Palace and The Opposite House all receiving a mention.
