Now in its 17th year, the awards highlight properties that deliver strong service. They also recognize consistent digital performance and adaptability.
Indonesia ranked joint third globally this year. The country shared the position with Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, and South Korea.
Within Indonesia, most winners came from key destinations. Bali led with more than 60 properties. Jakarta and Bandung followed.
The results show strong performance across major tourism hubs. Hotels continue to deliver consistent service while staying competitive online.
Indonesia’s strong ranking comes as travel demand remains dynamic. Searches for accommodation rose by 489 percent year-on-year.
