More than 400 guests gathered in Paragon Hall for a multi-course gala dinner prepared by five acclaimed chefs, Sujira Pongmorn (Khaan, Thailand), Herlander Fernandes (Mesa, Macau), Dej Kewkacha (Gaggan at Louis Vuitton, Thailand), Henrik Yde-Andersen and Chayawee Sutcharitchan (Sra Bua by Kiin Kiin, Thailand).<\/p>\n<p>Distinguished attendees in attendance were Tunku Jamie Nadzimuddin of Malaysia\u2019s royal family, HRH Sarimah Ibrahim and Awal Ashaari from Malaysia and Mond Gutierrez from the Philippines, whose presence added to the evening\u2019s international profile.<\/p>\n<p>Guests were treated to an opening performance by Jodokcello, the Swiss cellist known for blending classical compositions with contemporary rhythms, setting a refined and emotive tone for the evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Tonight reflects what Tatler Best is all about\u2013bringing together the people, stories and passions that define excellence across our region,\u201d said Michel Lamuni\u00e8re, Chairman and CEO of Tatler Asia. \u201cIt\u2019s a celebration not just of the winners, but of the community that continues to inspire creativity and innovation in hospitality and we\u2019re excited to see where this journey takes us next<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The celebrations culminated in an after-party led by DJ and Music Director Daryll Griggs, whose set carried the momentum late into the night, a fitting finale to an unforgettable evening of talent, community and celebration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recognising the Pinnacle of Achievement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Tatler Best Awards serve as Tatler Asia\u2019s flagship regional platform, distinct from the Tatler Best lists in individual markets such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. Throughout the year, Tatler celebrates national achievements across its local editions, culminating in this regional gathering that unites the most exceptional establishments from across Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n<p>What sets Tatler Best apart is its selection process. Winners are determined through input from Tatler\u2019s trusted community, individuals with influence, purchasing power and a discerning appreciation for quality and experience. This ensures the list represents genuine recognition from the people who shape Asia-Pacific\u2019s luxury and lifestyle landscape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Continuing the Celebration: The Tatler Best Takeover Series in Bangkok<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Running in tandem with the main awards, the Tatler Best Takeover Series in Bangkok takes place from October 17 to 25, extending the celebration beyond the stage and into the city\u2019s most vibrant venues. The series features chef and mixologist collaborations that unite Tatler Best award-winning talents from across the region. With collaborations bringing together chefs and mixologists from Vietnam, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau, Mainland China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top25restaurants.com\/asia\/thailand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thailand<\/a>, the takeovers offer guests a front-row seat to experience Asia Pacific\u2019s culinary stars through bespoke, one-night-only menus.<\/p>\n<p>The first few sessions have already seen enthusiastic participation from Bangkok\u2019s tastemakers and fellow award winners who flew in for the celebrations. Upcoming collaborations will continue to spotlight creative pairings between some of the region\u2019s most celebrated restaurants and bars, reinforcing Tatler Best\u2019s role as a living, year-round platform for connection and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discover the Tatler Best Hotels, Restaurants and Bars in Asia-Pacific 2025:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Award Highlights<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2013 Hotel of the Year: Mandarin Oriental Bangkok (Thailand) and Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (Saudi Arabia)<br \/>\n\u2013 Restaurant of the Year: S\u00e9zanne (Japan) and Tr\u00e8sind Studio (Dubai, UAE)<br \/>\n\u2013 Bar of the Year: Bar Leone (Hong Kong SAR) and Honeycomb Hi-Fi (Dubai, UAE)<\/p>\n<p>Geographic breadth: Winners span 16 destinations across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Rising talent: This year\u2019s Rising Star winners include Zhanxu Li (Qu Lang Yuan, Mainland China), Pei Liu (Under Lab, Taiwan), Sara Aqel (Dara Dining by Sara Aqel, Jordan) and Mauro Cortese spotlighting a new generation of culinary and mixology talents.<\/p>\n<p>Tatler Best Awards 2025 is in partnership with Mastercard and Priceless, Siam Paragon, and SJM Resorts, S.A., and supported by Tourism Authority of Thailand, Boozia, Evian, Foie Gras Queen, Glenmorangie, Jagota, Royal Caviar Club, Thailand Privilege, and Veuve Clicquot.<\/p>\n<p>Tatler Best Takeover Series Bangkok is in partnership with Mastercard and Priceless and venue partners Canton Disco, The Consul, IHG Hotels &amp; Resorts, Siam Kempinski Hotel Bangkok, Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok and VIE Hotel Bangkok \u2013 MGallery Collection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelnewshub.com\/events\/tatler-best-awards-2025-concludes-with-a-glamorous-gala-dinner\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangkok, Thailand, October 26, 2025 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Following the unveiling of the Tatler Best 100 on day one, Tatler Best concluded its two-day celebration of hospitality excellence with a spectacular black-tie gala honouring the Best-in-Class award winners for Asia-Pacific and for the first time, the Middle East.
