The acclaimed Marriott International luxury properties recognized in the prestigious The World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025 list are:

No. 15 – Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo

Occupying the 40th to 45th floors of the Tokyo Midtown Yaesu skyscraper, Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo is located in a highly central and convenient area at a short walking distance to some of the best attractions in town. Designed by renowned design firm ACPV Architects, the property features 98 rooms and suites that seamlessly blend modern Italian luxury with subtle Japanese influences. The hotel is also home to signature dining and bespoke experiences, including Michelin-starred Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, Sushi Hoseki, The Bvlgari Bar, The Bvlgari Lounge, Bvglari Dolci, and The Bvlgari Spa.

No. 45 – The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon

The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon offers an oasis of sophistication in the heart of downtown Tokyo. With sweeping skyline views, elegant design, and intuitive service, the hotel is both a respite from the fast pace of city life and a lively and dynamic destination both day and night. Centrally located near the metro stations of Kamiyacho, Roppongi-Itchome and Toranomon, and steps away from Tokyo’s best neighbourhoods and attractions, the hotel offers jaw-dropping unobstructed views of the Tokyo skyline and the absolute best view of the landmark Tokyo Tower.

 No. 46 – HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO, a Luxury Collection Hotel & Spa

HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO is the flagship hotel of the HOTEL THE MITSUI brand. An ultra-luxury sanctuary in the heart of Kyoto and nestled beside the UNESCO-listed Nijo Castle on a 250-year-old former Mitsui family estate, the hotel blends refined sophistication with deep-rooted Japanese heritage. As the first Kyoto property to earn a Forbes Five-Star rating in its debut year, it offers an immersive journey through the city’s timeless spirit, nature, and culture.

 No. 50 – Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Located in Bali’s cultural and spiritual heart of Ubud, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is designed as a sanctuary to relax one’s mind, body, and soul.
