Tatler

Tatler Best represents one of Asia's most established hospitality recognition programs, with editorial roots stretching back to Hong Kong in 1977. The program's 400-member jury combines editorial expertise with community taste-making, and the no-pay-to-play policy means inclusion is earned rather than purchased. The 2024 rebrand from Tatler Dining Awards to Tatler Best expanded the program to cover hotels and bars alongside restaurants—a reflection of how Asia-Pacific's hospitality landscape has matured beyond pure dining into integrated luxury experiences. For travelers evaluating restaurants, hotels, or bars in the Asia-Pacific region—particularly in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Southeast Asian markets—a Tatler Best recognition carries real weight among the region's high-net-worth dining community. The jury's 18-month recency requirement ensures assessments reflect current performance, not historical reputation.
