Take part in the 2026 edition
Share places the editors should research.
Share between one and ten hotels nominations. Base every choice on your own recent experience rather than reputation, publicity or hearsay.
Individual responses remain confidential. Public nominations are editorial intelligence only: they never create Academy membership, voting rights, ranking value or publication.
How hotel nominations work
Nominate from experience, in your own order of preference.
Nominate the hotels and resorts that delivered your strongest recent stays. Consider the property itself: its sense of place, hospitality, design, comfort and the lasting impression of the complete stay. The geographic scope for this nomination call is Asia.
What belongs in your nominations
- You must have completed a genuine stay at every property you recommend within the previous 24 months.
- Nominate the individual hotel or resort, not its owner, operator, designer or wider group.
- Do not include a property you own, work for, represent, advise or hold a financial interest in.
- The property must be operating and available to guests when the ranking is prepared for publication.
What happens to a public nomination
The submission becomes a research lead for the stated category and region. It does not become a calculated ranking value, a member ballot or a promise of coverage.
Academy applications are reviewed separately. Only an appointed member can access the official ballot, which records dates, funding and conflicts for every listed place.
