Tatler Best Awards Returns to Honour More Than 300 Hospitality Establishments Across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East in a Newly Expanded Programme

Tatler, the leading platform that celebrates The Voice of Asia's Excellence, today announced a landmark expansion for the 2025 edition of its influential Tatler Best awards. Following a highly successful 2024 debut, the awards will now encompass the entire Asia-Pacific region, including new entries from Australia and New Zealand, and make their inaugural foray into the Middle East.

The event will take place at Paragon Hall in Bangkok on October 21-22, 2025. The Thai capital will become the epicentre of the hospitality world, welcoming hundreds of the industry’s most accomplished chefs, restaurateurs, hoteliers, and mixologists to honour excellence in hospitality and recognise those shaping the future of hospitality.

“Tatler Best is our tribute to the visionaries shaping the future of hospitality,” says Sean Fitzpatrick, Chief Experience Officer at Tatler Asia. “This year’s expansion isn’t just about adding new territories; it’s about connecting diverse cultures of excellence. From the dynamic fine dining scene in Sydney to the legendary luxury of Dubai, we are creating a true cross-continental dialogue on what it means to be the best.”
