Midnight In Asia

At the stroke of midnight, when most of the world is asleep, the incredible continent of Asia is just waking up. Discover its after-dark delights with WorldHotels™.

Sponsored by

As brimming with intrigue and adventure as it is with solace and spirituality, the vast continent of Asia has fixated and confounded travelers for centuries. From the frenetic streets of Tokyo to the stalwart steps of the Great Wall of China, from the ancient chambers of Angkor Wat to the trendy karaoke bars of Seoul, not to mention the incredible cuisine found on every corner, be it street food in Bangkok or a Michelin meal in Singapore – whatever you’re seeking, you can find it in Asia.

 

But we’ll let you in on a secret: you’ve never experienced this vibrant continent until you’ve seen it at midnight. Late-night food markets, glamorous parties, unique events – when the rest of the world heads home from the office to sleep, many people in Asia awaken, if you will, after work to pursue their personal hobbies and passions. Something that makes them feel alive.

 

Perhaps it's time you join them in experiencing the incredible nightlife this continent has to offer. Found in key locations across Asia, the luxurious accommodations by WorldHotels™ are particularly well positioned to help you make the most of your stay. The international brand of independently owned and operated hotels, expertly envisioned by hoteliers, offers a curated selection of unparalleled properties in some of Asia’s top cities, selectively divided into collections such as the stylish WorldHotels™ Elite and the welcoming WorldHotels™ Distinctive, enabling you to choose exactly the experience you’re looking for.
