“Hotels are where journeys turn into stories. The AHA Hotel Discipline recognizes those who transform a stay into something timeless — a haven that welcomes, inspires, and endures.”
Where Stays Become Stories

Winner of 2025 AHA - project Army Hotel Hanoi (Army Hotel Hanoi)
A great hotel is not measured only by the comfort of its rooms or the elegance of its lobby, but by its ability to weave service, design, and atmosphere into a narrative that guests carry with them long after departure. In this discipline, recognition is reserved for those who elevate hospitality into heritage — properties where the details speak, the spaces breathe, and every encounter becomes part of a larger story.
Cities, Shores, and Shared Visions

Winner of 2025 AHA - project Army Hotel Hanoi (Army Hotel Hanoi)
Across Asia, glittering urban towers rise alongside quiet retreats on mountain ridges and coastal shores, yet what unites them is not their scale or style but the way they redefine belonging. Whether through sustainable practices, groundbreaking innovation, or deep cultural resonance, these hotels are shaping how travelers experience the region and how the region presents itself to the world.
Judged with Precision, Remembered with Emotion
Submissions will be evaluated by an expert Jury according to five key criteria: Authenticity, Customer Satisfaction, Online Presence & Engagement, Quality of Service, and Corporate Social Responsibility. However, beyond technical excellence lies a deeper question — how does a hotel transform a guest’s stay into a memory, and how do those memories, in turn, shape the future of global hospitality?
