Asia continues to reign as a premier travel destination, offering a blend of culture, affordability, and world-class hospitality. With international tourism bouncing back, global hotel chains are racing to capture the region’s growing demand for unique, stylish, and convenient accommodations. One brand leading this surge is BWH Hotels, which has announced significant new property openings in five of Asia’s most exciting destinations: Bangkok (Thailand), Hangzhou (China), Bandung (Indonesia), Rawalpindi (Pakistan), and Subic (Philippines).
These new hotels are designed to cater to diverse travelers—business executives, leisure tourists, and the rising wave of “bleisure” visitors who combine work with travel. From urban getaways to seaside escapes, the expansion signals BWH Hotels’ commitment to enhancing tourism infrastructure in Asia’s thriving hotspots.
Bangkok, Thailand: Gateway to Culture and Cuisine
Bangkok, often called the “City of Angels,” remains one of Asia’s most vibrant destinations, famous for its bustling street markets, golden temples, and unbeatable food scene.
The newly opened SureStay by Best Western Iconic Ari-Jatujak places travelers in the heart of the action. Located just 30 minutes from Don Mueang International Airport and a short ride from the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market, the 157-room hotel offers convenience paired with comfort.
Facilities include a rooftop pool, modern gym, and an on-site café, perfect for relaxing after a day exploring Bangkok’s floating markets or savoring Thai street food. Proximity to Saphan Khwai BTS Station ensures guests can easily access popular districts like Siam, Sukhumvit, and Chinatown.
Hangzhou, China: Tradition Meets Modern Elegance
Known for its serene West Lake and UNESCO-recognized cultural heritage, Hangzhou blends classical Chinese charm with rapid modernization. As one of China’s fastest-growing cities, it has become a hub for both tourists and entrepreneurs.
The Wenlan Hotel Northern Hangzhou, part of the WorldHotels Elite collection, introduces 295 elegantly designed rooms within minutes of the Grand Canal and cultural museums. Its highlight is a sky-high fine-dining restaurant on the 25th floor, offering panoramic views of the city alongside refined Chinese cuisine.
Hangzhou’s combination of timeless scenery and modern infrastructure makes it a compelling stop for both business conferences and leisure travel, with the new Wenlan Hotel elevating hospitality standards.
Bandung, Indonesia: A Refreshing Mountain Escape
Nestled among volcanic peaks, Bandung is often referred to as “the Paris of Java.” Its cool climate, colonial-era architecture, and thriving art scene make it an attractive alternative to Jakarta’s bustle.
The Best Western Setiabudhi Bandung introduces a chic retreat with 63 rooms designed in minimalist style. Guests enjoy stunning views of the city, local and Asian flavors at its in-house restaurant, and a cozy coffee lounge.
Whether travelers are shopping for textiles in Bandung’s factory outlets, exploring nearby tea plantations, or hiking volcanic craters, the hotel provides the perfect base to unwind after adventure-filled days.
Rawalpindi, Pakistan: Gateway to Heritage and Business
Rawalpindi, one of Pakistan’s largest cities, is renowned for its rich Mughal heritage, bustling bazaars, and proximity to Taxila, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Best Western Hotel Rawalpindi Central offers 100 modern guest rooms, strategically located near the Soan River and within a short drive of Islamabad International Airport. With an all-day dining restaurant, international menu offerings, and quick access to shopping centers, the hotel is well-positioned for both tourists and business travelers.
For those exploring Pakistan’s northern valleys or ancient archaeological treasures, Rawalpindi serves as a practical yet comfortable hub.
Subic, Philippines: A Coastal Haven for Adventure and Relaxation
Just a few hours from Metro Manila, Subic Bay has transformed from a former naval base into a prime seaside destination. It is now known for water sports, eco-tourism, and family-friendly getaways.
The Best Western Plus Hotel Subic recently completed upgrades to its 95 rooms, adding contemporary touches to enhance guest comfort. The hotel offers a rooftop pool overlooking the bay, a fully equipped gym, and dining outlets featuring both Filipino and international favorites.
Its strategic location near SM City Olongapo shopping mall and only an hour’s drive from Clark International Airport makes it ideal for quick getaways or extended stays. Adventure seekers can enjoy jet skiing, sailing, and diving, while those seeking leisure can relax along sandy beaches.
