The higher-dimensional Kerr–NUT–de Sitter spacetime describes the general rotating asymptotically de Sitter black hole with NUT parameters. It is known that such a spacetime possesses a rank-2 closed conformal Killing–Yano (CKY) tensor as a ‘hidden’ symmetry which provides the separation of variables for the geodesic equations and Klein–Gordon equations. We present a classification of higher-dimensional spacetimes admitting a rank-2 closed CKY tensor. This provides a generalization of the Kerr–NUT–de Sitter spacetime. In particular, we show that the Kerr–NUT–de Sitter spacetime is the only spacetime with a non-degenerate CKY tensor.
