Winner: The Peninsula Hong Kong

Timeless elegance has found a home at The Peninsula Hong Kong . The palatial lobby lounge sets the tone with its gilded pillars and white-gloved afternoon tea service. This Grande Dame has ranked among the world's best city hotels for nearly a century, and it’s easy to see why. The rooms feel equally elegant, albeit more modern, with plush furniture, spacious marble bathrooms and, if you’re lucky, captivating harbour views.

Capella Ubud, Bali

Taking glamping to new heights, Capella Ubud in Bali marries untouched nature and old-world romance with 22 tents and a lodge hidden amid the dense canopy. Designed by the inimitable Bill Bensley, the tents come alive with kaleidoscopic decor and massive decks – complete with private pools and daybeds – overlooking the river, jungle and valleys below. The vibe is adventure-chic, channeling early exploration in details like gorgeous Dutch antiques, handmade Balinese batiks and books from bygone eras.

Bulgari Hotel Tokyo

Contemporary Italian glamour and Japanese heritage design achieve perfect harmony at Bulgari Hotel Tokyo . Stretching across the 40th to 45th levels of the Tokyo Midtown Yaesu skyscraper, this sleek address is home to 98 rooms and suites featuring hand-painted gold ceilings, wooden Japanese furniture and luxurious Italian decor. From the Japanese omakase and Italian restaurants to the emerald-green pool featuring Venetian glass, you’ll say arigatou gozaimasu – or perhaps grazie mille – after a stay at this fashion-forward hotel.

Amangalla, Sri Lanka

This 300-year-old property has long been the go-to luxury choice in Unesco-listed Galle Fort, a 16th-century fortress built by the Dutch on Sri Lanka's southwestern coast. Effortlessly elegant and warm, Amangalla transports guests to days gone by with its colourful tiles and original wood floors, sky-high ceilings and arched doorways. Inside the rooms and suites, four-poster beds and antique furniture ensure guests feel like royalty, while a charming courtyard pool and Aman Spa layer on the serenity.

The Singapore Edition

Adding new energy to the Orchard Road shopping district, The Singapore Edition makes a statement. The head-turning lobby wows with dramatic details in every corner: a dramatic spiral staircase here, a lush conservatory there. And let’s not forget about the white marble pool table with a hot-pink velvet cloth. Offering a minimalist contrast, rooms cocoon guests in just about every shade of white and cream for an elegant escape. Up on the rooftop, the 43-metre-long pool holds a secret: an underwater oculus peering into the gardens below.
