Six Quest properties have been named in Tripadvisor's 2026 Best of the Best Top Hotels in Australia, all ranking within the national top ten. The result places Quest among the top 1% of listings globally, determined entirely by guest review volume and quality over a 12-month period.
Recognition extended across four further categories, with 11 properties earning 16 placements in total across five Tripadvisor Best of the Best categories in Australia and the South Pacific.

Recognition that reflects how guests actually stay
Tripadvisor's Best of the Best awards are not judged or nominated. They are earned through a high volume of outstanding guest reviews sustained over time, making them one of the more credible third-party signals in the accommodation sector. There is no panel, no submission, and no marketing spend that influences the result. Only what guests experienced and chose to write down.
For Quest, the product behind those reviews is consistent: more space, a full kitchen, laundry facilities, and room to settle in rather than simply sleep. Each property is locally owned and operated, which shapes the kind of attentiveness that tends to generate strong guest feedback. A host who knows the neighbourhood and a team that treats tenure as a point of pride.
“To have six of Australia’s top ten hotels on Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best list come from the one brand is a remarkable result and credit belongs entirely to the franchisees and their teams who show up for guests every single day. This award is driven by real guests leaving real reviews, which makes it one of the most meaningful endorsements in our industry."
David Mansfield, Managing Director, The Ascott Limited Australasia
Beyond the CBD
Five of Quest's six top-ten placements sit outside traditional capital city centres. Orange and Singleton are regional NSW towns. Robina is a suburban hub on the Gold Coast. Perth Ascot and St Kilda Road sit away from their respective CBDs. Only Quest Docklands represents an inner-city location.
That spread reflects where the demand actually is, and where Quest has built consistent product over time. Quality apartment-style accommodation is not a CBD-only proposition.
Built on local ownership and consistency
Across more than 120 properties in Australia, Quest combines the consistency of a national brand with the accountability of local ownership. Every property operates under the same fundamentals, and every franchisee carries responsibility for the guest experience their community delivers.
