A ranking of the top 100 hotels in the world is out – here are all the ones in Asia

One of the most crucial decisions you can make on a trip is which hotel to stay in. There's lots to consider – location, amenities, service, cleanliness, and value. The best hotels can completely elevate a trip, answering your every need without compromising on an authentic and local experience.

If you're travelling to Asia anytime soon, there's a new ranking of the best hotels in the region that may spark some inspiration. Travel + Leisure just released the results of its World's Best Awards survey, which ranks top cities, islands, hotels, resorts, and more based on votes by almost 180,000 T+L readers. This year, 33 hotels in Asia made it to its ranking of the 100 best hotels in the world, based on criteria like rooms and facilities, location, service, food, and value-for-money.

2025's top Asian hotel is perfect for those in love with the island life. Nay Palad Hideaway in Siargao, Philippines ranks No. 10 in the world with a score of 99.37. A stunning result, considering that Nay Palad Hideaway is a newcomer to the list. The resort is all-inclusive, with sprawling villas offering private private pools, beach access, pavilions, and tree houses. Activities are covered too, from mangrove kayaking to surfing the legendary Cloud 9 break. 

The rest of the list represents a pretty even balance of island luxury and city glamour. If you're looking for a remote getaway close to the ocean, there's no going wrong with hotels like Shangri-La Boracay, Meliá Ho Tram Beach Resort, or The St. Regis Bali Resort. Or settle in private sanctuaries smack in the middle of the urban whirl at spots like Regent Hong Kong, EQ Kuala Lumpur, and The Langham, Shanghai. You can even get a little wild at The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort in Ranthambhore, where you can join game drives to stalk elusive Bengal tigers in the national park.
