Every memorable journey begins with a place that inspires. Vietnam, with its rich cultural tapestry and breathtaking landscapes, has become a stage where hotels, resorts, and destinations transform travel into something deeper—an experience where culture, comfort, and innovation intertwine. From glittering city skylines to tranquil coastal retreats, the country’s finest establishments are shaping experiences that resonate long after guests depart.
At the Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025, the Hotel, Resort & Destination Excellence category shines a spotlight on those who are not only delivering world-class service but also pioneering new benchmarks in hospitality. These awards honour the visionaries who reimagine what it means to to rest, indulge, and explore. More than recognition, they represent an ongoing dialogue about the future of travel in Vietnam and beyond.
This category embraces a wide spectrum of excellence, celebrating urban luxury hotels, idyllic beachfront resorts, mountain hideaways, and even voyages across the sea. With official subcategories ranging from Best Hotel of the Year (Urban/Luxury) and Best Resort of the Year (Beach/Nature) to Best Cruise Ship, Best Integrated Resort, and Best Sustainable Hospitality Concept, the awards reflect the multifaceted nature of modern travel. What makes the Gourmet Vietnam Awards distinctive is that, apart from the big, obvious categories such as Best Hotel or Best Resort, the awards also recognize specialized areas of hospitality that not every destination excels at – wellness sanctuaries, family-friendly escapes, and world-class golf resorts, fields in which Vietnam is rapidly gaining international recognition.
Several leading names are already in the spotlight. Caravelle Saigon, a landmark of refined urban living; Azerai Ke Ga Bay, with its serene coastal charm; Ana Mandara Villas Dalat Resort & Spa, where French colonial heritage meets mountain tranquility; Regent Phu Quoc, the epitome of island indulgence; and JW Marriott Hotel Hanoi, meanwhile, is carving its reputation through forward-thinking sustainability initiatives, demonstrating how luxury and responsibility can go hand in hand. Each property demonstrates how Vietnamese hospitality is not merely about accommodation, but about crafting emotional journeys that connect people to place.
What sets this category apart is its recognition of innovation. Sustainability, wellness, and integration are no longer trends—they are imperatives. Resorts that turn food waste into compost, hotels that weave local artistry into design, or destinations that redefine family travel all illustrate how hospitality is becoming a platform for meaningful change.
For establishments ready to showcase their excellence, this is the moment to step forward. The Gourmet Vietnam Awards 2025 invite hotels, resorts, and destinations across the country to submit their entries and join a distinguished circle of leaders shaping the future of travel.
