Oberoi Hotels & Resorts has once again reinforced its global leadership in luxury hospitality by securing top honours in the prestigious Travel + Leisure, USA World’s Best Awards 2025. Ranked #2 among the Best Hotel Brands in the World, the Indian luxury group continues to be celebrated for its exceptional service, timeless elegance, and personalised guest experiences.
A standout achievement this year is the recognition of The Oberoi Luxury Nile Cruisers as the #1 River Cruisers in the World. This milestone coincides with the group’s upcoming launch of The Oberoi Dahabeyas, an ultra-luxury cruising experience on the Nile set to debut later this year. Further cementing its leadership in India, four Oberoi resorts have dominated the domestic rankings, claiming the top four positions, with The Oberoi Amarvilas in Agra, The Oberoi Rajvilas in Jaipur, The Oberoi Vanyavilas in Ranthambhore, and The Oberoi Udaivilas in Udaipur taking the lead. Both Oberoi Hotels & Resorts and The Oberoi Amarvilas also continue their place in the Travel + Leisure Hall of Fame, recognising sustained excellence over the years.
The Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards are based on reader evaluations across key parameters such as rooms, service, location, food, and overall value, making them a genuine reflection of guest satisfaction. Arjun Oberoi, Executive Chairman of The Oberoi Group, said the accolades are a tribute to the dedication of the team and the brand’s unwavering commitment to personalised care. Vikram Oberoi, CEO of The Oberoi Group, highlighted the brand’s focus on guest-centric values and its pride in being recognised both globally and at home.
These recognitions come at a time of strategic growth for the group. In 2025, Oberoi is expanding its footprint with the launch of The Oberoi Rajgarh Palace in Khajuraho and the two Nile Dahabeyas. Earlier this year, The Oberoi Vindhyavilas Wildlife Resort opened in Bandhavgarh, spotlighting Madhya Pradesh as a luxury destination. The group has also introduced Elements by Oberoi, further deepening its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. The 2025 accolades reaffirm Oberoi Hotels & Resorts’ position as one of the world’s most admired hospitality brands, seamlessly blending luxury with authenticity.
