Conveniently located within walking distance from Bali’s international terminal, the Novotel Bali Ngurah Rai Airport is an ideal transit hotel for travellers arriving late into Denpasar (DPS).

RYSE, Autograph Collection delivers a polished and thoughtfully curated stay right in the heart of Hongdae, Seoul’s most youthful and energetic district. The hotel blends boutique charm with brand-level consistency, offering stylish rooms, standout design, and a strong sense of place that reflects the creative pulse of the neighbourhood.

The Grand Hyatt Guangzhou delivers a solid and well-rounded stay experience that represents exceptional value, especially when compared to flashier alternatives in the area like the W Guangzhou. From the spacious Grand Premium Suite with panoramic city views to the consistently high-quality breakfast at The Market Café, the hotel balances comfort, practicality, and service well. While the club lounge is functional but unremarkable in terms of F&B, access to it—along with suite upgrades and late check-out—adds meaningful benefits for Globalist members.

Swissôtel The Stamford offers stunning views of Marina Bay and a prime City Hall location, making it an excellent choice for international visitors. While the L65 Lounge serves substantial evening food, the limited alcohol selection might not suit all guests, but the hotel is still a great option for those wanting to experience Singapore’s iconic sights.

The Park Hyatt Auckland is quite possibly the nicest luxury hotel in Auckland with stunning rooms and suites, but the soft product needs some work.

Kota Kinabalu is a great weekend getaway with plenty of delicious and affordable food to offer. The Hyatt Centric Kota Kinabalu is one of the newest hotels to open in the city and its location makes it convenient enough for you to visit more restaurants on foot.

The Alila Bangsar is a great option for those looking to take advantage of Kuala Lumpur’s LRT network to get around - the rooms are affordable and beautiful, offering fantastic value to World of Hyatt members especially.

The Waldorf Astoria Bangkok is possibly my favourite luxury hotel in the whole of Bangkok - the experience from start to finish was impeccable with solid F&B offerings to boot. Check out my review of the Corner Suite in this property as a Hilton Honors Diamond member!
