Tokyo Leads Hotel Investment in Asia Pacific, Says CBRE
Skift Take
Hotel investment in the Asia Pacific region is rising, with Japan, Singapore, and Australia leading interest, while investors shift focus to upscale segments and await interest rate clarity.
CBRE's newly released 2025 Asia Pacific Hotel Investor Intentions Survey shows more than 72% of investors plan to increase their hotel investment allocations in the Asia Pacific region. Japan, Singapore, and Australia have seen a surge in tourism, and that has fueled strong interest in hotel assets with limited supply further driving investment appeal. According to the survey, Tokyo remains the top destination for hotel investment, followed by Sydney, and then Seoul and Bangkok tied for third. Singapore and Osaka follow, tied in the fifth spot. The survey suggests investor interest has shifted towards the upscale and upper midscale segments from the strong period of luxury hotel acquisitions. Rebranding and redevelopment are both gaining traction due to high construction costs. Investors appear to be waiting for more clarity on future interest rate cuts before making major investment decisions outside of Japan.
