Tripadvisor has announced the winners of its annual Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Hotels, with Indonesia’s G.H. Universal Hotel receiving the title of No. 1 Top Hotel in the world.

The 2026 Travelers’ Choice Awards: Best of the Best Hotels are part of Tripadvisor’s overarching Travelers’ Choice Awards umbrella. Winners were determined by the quality and quantity of Tripadvisor reviews and ratings from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025.

This five-star property in northern Bandung, Indonesia, features Renaissance-style architecture along with modern comfort, set against the region’s natural atmosphere. There are 105 rooms to choose from, a spacious courtyard and pool, spa, fitness center, round-the-clock dining, and Indonesia’s only luxury pet hotel, where traveling pets can get dedicated care during a stay.
