Hotel Transactions in APAC Region: Q2 2025

The hotel industry in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has shown significant growth in Q2 2025, with a total transaction volume of $1.5 billion. Among the key players, Singapore and Japan emerged as the frontrunners, while India and South Korea also made notable contributions.

In Singapore, the hotel transaction volumes reached an impressive $285 million in Q2 2025, making it the region's second-largest market in terms of transaction activity. Japan followed closely behind with $145 million worth of hotel transactions, accounting for 9.5% of the total APAC volume.

India, on the other hand, saw a steady increase in hotel transactions, with Q2 2025 recording $126 million worth of transactions, up from $117 million in Q1 2025. However, the search results do not provide information about the name of the company that conducted the most hotel transactions in India in 2025, as per Nihat Ercan, CEO of APAC at JLL Hotels and Hospitality Group.

South Korea reported hotel transaction volumes worth $105 million in Q2 2025, accounting for 6.9% of the total APAC transaction volume.

China, the largest market in the APAC region, accounted for 34.7% of the total transaction volume in Q2 2025, with transaction volumes worth $520 million.

These figures represent a substantial increase from 2021, when the APAC region recorded hotel transaction volumes worth $12.2 billion. Notably, Japan was the strongest market in the APAC region in 2021, accounting for over 40% of transaction activity.

In terms of the APAC region as a whole, Singapore accounted for 18.3% of the total transaction volume in Q2 2025. India accounted for 1.7% of the total APAC transaction volume in Q2 2025.

As per estimates shared by JLL, 2024 saw the highest number of hotels getting traded in India. The exact figures for 2024 are not available, but it is clear that the Indian hotel market is on an upward trajectory.

In conclusion, the APAC region has shown resilience and growth in the hotel industry, with key markets like Singapore, Japan, and China leading the way. The Indian and South Korean markets also showed promising signs of growth in Q2 2025. As the industry continues to recover from the impacts of the pandemic, these trends are expected to continue.
