WHAT CONSTITUTES THE BEST in travel? The answer is highly personal, but there’s no question that some places and experiences resonate more deeply, more universally, than others. To identify the luxury stars that shone brightest through the last year, we asked our readers, you on-the-ground travel experts, to weigh in on the ̒best’ in hospitality. The results are an aspirational mix of trusty stalwarts and fresh faces. Look out for our first-ever favourite hotel brand and industry icon awards among these standouts across Asia-Pacific who captured our luxury-loving hearts… and keep us all inspired to never stop exploring.
Thanks for sharing your opinions with us, and congratulations to all the winners!

This Is the Winner of the First-Ever Icon Award 2025
Travel+Leisure Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Macau names winners of the Luxury Awards Asia-Pacific based on the results of a readers survey. The category types and whether winners are placed in top-10 or top-five lists vary by country to account for the different sizes and strengths of the industries in different places. There’s no pay to play. Nominees were selected by the T+L Southeast Asia team of editors and expert contributors across the region, and voting was open to anyone anywhere in the world from January 2025 through April 2025. A nomination section offered voters the chance to submit for consideration any worthy ideas not on the original ballot; inclusion on the ballot afterwards was subject to review by the T+L Southeast Asia team. The Icon Award was selected by the editors.
