Hotels and resorts were short-listed through a consumer survey conducted by HotelClub during July 2009. This year, over 52,000 consumers nominated their favourite properties in the annual HotelClub search with the top 300 properties out of over 3,000 hotels in the Asia region making the final short-lists. All finalists and winners featured in the award ceremony did not have to apply in order to qualify to win.

In recognition of the high number of properties nominated from the Southeast Asia region, the 2009 HotelClub Awards ceremony held on 25 November 2009 was hosted in Singapore for the first time.
