If you watched the hit comedy-drama series The White Lotus, which is set in luxury resorts around the world, it might have inspired you to book a stay in a five star hotel. 

But for investors, it looks like they’re taking a step further and turning to hotel investments as dynamic assets.

CBRE’s newly released 2025 Asia Pacific Hotel Investor Intentions Survey, reveals a major shift in investor sentiment—72% of respondents plan to increase their hotel asset allocations this year.

The rebound in international tourism—particularly in Japan, Singapore, and Australia—is driving this momentum, as hotel room rates remain elevated and demand for high-quality assets intensifies.

On The Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Steve Carroll, Head of Hotels, Capital Markets, Asia Pacific, CBRE to find out more.
