20 Most Popular Hospitality Projects of 2025
From Singapore's vertical garden hotel to Bali's bamboo shell restaurant, the 20 hospitality projects that captivated readers on uni.xyz.
Hospitality architecture in 2025 proved that the spaces where we eat, sleep, heal, and gather are among the most architecturally ambitious being built today. The projects on this list span bamboo restaurants in Bali, vertical garden hotels in Singapore, subterranean smoke houses in South Korea, and healthcare campuses in China that feel more like parks than hospitals.
All 20 projects are built and photographed. They were ranked by reader engagement on uni.xyz: visits, saves, and conversation from a community of 260,000+ architects and designers. What stands out is the geographic range: Southeast Asia, Japan, China, Europe, and Latin America all produced hospitality architecture worth celebrating this year.

What Hospitality Architecture Told Us in 2025
The most popular hospitality projects of 2025 share a common thread: they treat the guest not as a consumer but as a participant. The best restaurants on this list do not just serve food; they stage an experience. The best hotels do not just provide rooms; they offer a relationship with landscape, climate, and culture.
Healthcare projects appearing on a hospitality list is itself a statement. When architects bring the same care to a hospital corridor that they bring to a hotel lobby, the boundary between healing and hosting dissolves. That may be the most important trend on this list.
