Organised by Travel Weekly Asia, Asia’s leading travel trade publication, this year’s awards gala was held at Mandarin Orchard Singapore and attended by more than 100 hospitality leaders from across Asia Pacific. The menu of the night was specially prepared by chefs from two-Michelin-starred Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro, currently the highest Michelin-rated Chinese restaurant in Singapore.

The fourth edition of the annual Travel Weekly Asia Readers’ Choice Awards saw a total of 56 awards presented across 10 categories—Airline, Cruise, Car Rental, Destination, Hotel, Resort, Serviced Residence, Travel Agent, Travel Technology, and Tourism Experience. Winners are determined from total votes by Travel Weekly Asia readers and industry professionals in the region.

In the “Best Upscale Hotel–Asia Pacific” category, award entrants were judged based on their ability to offer upscale amenities, full service accommodations, and the highest level of personalised service.
