#LifestyleHotels

Asia Pacific’s hospitality sector is experiencing a record-setting surge in lifestyle hotel development, sparking both investor frenzy and a new era of experiential travel across the region. According to a new report by JLL, lifestyle hotel rooms in Asia Pacific have quadrupled since 2014, adding nearly 65,000 rooms, with the momentum set to accelerate sharply through 2027. Projections estimate that lifestyle hotels will make up 6-9% of all new hotel supply in the region by 2027, with the sector poised for a 34% increase in inventory during that period (JLL via Travel Daily Media, Skift).

The Asia Pacific region is witnessing a dramatic rise in the development of lifestyle hotels, as revealed in a new report by global real estate consultancy JLL. Nearly 65,000 lifestyle hotel rooms have been added since 2014, marking a fourfold increase and signaling a transformation in both the regional hospitality landscape and traveler expectations. This surge in alternative, design-forward accommodations is poised to reshape tourism, especially in destinations popular with the younger, experience-seeking demographic—including Thailand.
