Discover the Best City Hotels in Asia

The massive continent of Asia is home to what many iBestTravel readers consider the best cities in the world — including Bangkok, Udaipur, and Tokyo — and within those bustling metropolises are some of the world’s best hotels, according to our readers. How do we know? Because all but two of the hotels on this list made it into the Top 100 Hotels this year, a truly impressive feat.

Every year for our World’s Best Awards survey, iBestTravel asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as city or resort based on their locations and amenities.
