Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hotel operator, proudly celebrates a major achievement on the regional hospitality stage as three of its properties have been recognised at The 15th AHA Asia Hotel Awards 2026, a prestigious awards platform honouring outstanding hotels, resorts and hospitality brands across Asia.
This year, Centara received three distinguished awards across key hospitality segments:

Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya received the award for Best Family Vacation Hotel of the Year, reinforcing its position as one of Thailand’s leading family resort destinations, offering immersive experiences, extensive leisure facilities and memorable stays for guests of all ages.
Centara Grand at CentralWorld was honoured as Best MICE Hotel of the Year, highlighting its strong reputation as a premier venue for meetings, incentives, conferences and events in the heart of Bangkok, supported by expansive event spaces, world-class facilities and professional service standards.
The recognition reflects the strength and diversity of Centara’s portfolio, spanning luxury leisure, family-focused resorts and urban MICE hospitality. It also underscores the group’s continued commitment to delivering meaningful guest experiences, service excellence and internationally recognised standards across its hotels and resorts.
The AHA Asia Hotel Awards 2026 marks an important milestone for the regional hospitality industry, having evolved from the CHA China Hotel Awards into an Asia-wide awards platform. Under the theme “Trusted Choice of Excellence” the awards aim to celebrate high-performing hotels, influential hospitality brands and industry leaders who contribute to the continued growth and development of Asia’s hotel sector.
The awards gala was held in Bangkok, Thailand, bringing together leading hotel groups, investors, luxury brands, media representatives and hospitality professionals from across the region.
