The list showcases the best new hotels and resorts to open in the Asia-Pacific region this year. 

Each of the selected properties was visited by one of the magazine's contributors and subsequently vetted by its editorial staff, who combed through dozens of candidate establishments before choosing the final list based on criteria such as design, service, location, and ambience. 

Other Vietnamese hotels/resorts listed include An Lam Ninh Van Bay Villas in Nha Trang, Hotel de l'Opera in Hanoi, and Six Senses Con Dao on Con Dao Island.
