2020 was not great for travel, but 2021 may provide an uptick with several new hotels about to open in Asia. People worldwide largely stayed at home throughout the whole of last year. But now with travel bubbles and borders beginning to open, there is hope on the horizon.

Frankly, we are glad that despite the bleak outlook of last year, hospitality brands carried on with their expansion plans. And once more, Asia continues to be a main focal point with international chains setting up properties across the region. If you need an excuse to start travelling again, here is a checklist of some new hotels that are due to open their doors in Asia this 2021.

JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai Fengxian, China

The Marriott group has set a target to open 100 properties in Asia-Pacific in 2021. China will be a key market with the opening of JW Marriott Shanghai Fengxian. The property, set to open in Spring 2021, marks the group’s 400th hotel in greater China and the 50th in Shanghai.

Located in the centre of Jinhai Lake, adjacent to the Fengxian Museum and Nine Trees Future Art Centre, the hotel is inspired by the surrounding body of water. JW Marriott Shanghai Fengxian features 265 modern rooms and suites overlooking the lake or the hotel’s beautiful atrium garden.

Potato Head has continuously maintained its position as one of Bali’s coolest resorts. This year, it intends to continue that streak with the opening of its new creative village. Due to open in Q1, the Seminyak resort will have 168 rooms with unobstructed views of the ocean.

It will also offer guests a beachfront pool, a farm-to-table restaurant, art gallery and, naturally, a traditional Balinese spa. Music remains a pillar here and it shows too, with a recording studio and subterranean discotheque located onsite.

The Cambodian capital recently welcomed its newest five-star luxury hotel, courtesy of Hyatt. Conveniently located in the heart of the city, Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh caters to both business and leisure travellers. The hotel blends Khmer architecture with French colonial influences.

The property itself was originally a 20th century colonial villa, which now serves as the hotel’s entrance. The main building itself houses 247 guest rooms, an outdoor infinity pool, four dining venues and a spa. Most of the city’s main attractions such as the National Museum and Royal Palace are conveniently within walking distance.

The luxury property is the first Fairmont hotel in South Korea featuring a Fairmont Gold Lounge and Fairmont Fit luxury services. Located at the Parc1 complex with the iconic Han River on its doorstep, the hotel features 326 rooms and suites.

Accessed via a 50-minute speedboat journey from Malé International Airport, Patina Maldives offers 90 beach and water pool villas.

The resort is further complemented by two other luxury hospitality brands, which guests are free to explore. They can also choose to frequent the island’s main social scene anchored at the Fari Marina Village and Beach Club. Look out for this one to open sometime in the second half of this year.

Talking about brand new hotels, what about one that is housed in a 14th century fort? Well that is where the Six Senses Fort Barwara is situated in. Regal as well as rich in history, the resort is expected to be completed and ready for business in late 2021. In addition to 48 suites, it will also incorporate a palace and two temples within the walled site.

A three-hour drive from Jaipur, the Six Senses property boasts two pools, a spa and fitness centre and two restaurants. Guests can not only explore the fort but also embark on heritage walks to discover nearby villages. The Ranthambore National Park, famous for its tigers, is also just a convenient 30-minute drive away.
