The global luxury travel landscape has a brilliant new benchmark. In an extraordinary double win for high-end Asian hospitality, both HOSHINOYA Tokyo and HOSHINOYA Bali have been recognised in the newly unveiled Condé Nast Traveller Triple Crown collection.
This highly exclusive accolade celebrates an elite, limited group of the world’s greatest hotels that have demonstrated sustained excellence across design, cultural authenticity, and guest loyalty.
One Brand, Two Unique Expressions of Luxury
While both properties share the same DNA of uncompromising, hyper-focused hospitality, they offer entirely distinct spatial experiences for the modern lifestyle traveller:
| Property | Location | Core Concept & Aesthetic |
| HOSHINOYA Tokyo | Otemachi, Tokyo (Japan) | The Vertical Ryokan: Seamlessly brings traditional Japanese ryokan culture, tatami mats, and hot spring (onsen) bathing into a sleek, sky-high urban tower. |
| HOSHINOYA Bali | Ubud, Bali (Indonesia) | The Spiritual Sanctuary: A tranquil retreat suspended over a river valley, seamlessly blending mystical Balinese traditions, water canals, and dense jungle canopy. |
HOSHINOYA Tokyo: Urban Cultural Immersion
Perfectly positioned in the financial heart of one of the world’s most dynamic capitals, HOSHINOYA Tokyo completely redefines urban luxury. By flipping the horizontal layout of a traditional Japanese inn into a sophisticated vertical format, the property serves as a peaceful, highly insulated sanctuary where guests can experience authentic tea ceremonies and sake tastings away from the neon rush of the city.
HOSHINOYA Bali: Mystical Serenity in Ubud
Enveloped by the lush, spiritual landscapes of Bali’s cultural heart, HOSHINOYA Bali pays deep homage to its surrounding environment. The resort integrates the traditional Balinese Subak water management system into its luxury pool designs, allowing guests to float effortlessly amongst the treetops while experiencing traditional wellness therapies and deep connection to the island’s heritage.
This monumental Triple Crown recognition firmly cements the HOSHINOYA brand at the absolute vanguard of experiential luxury travel, proving that true cultural authenticity is the ultimate global currency.
Understanding the Triple Crown Distinction
Introduced in 2026, the Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown honours a highly selective tier of global hotels. To qualify, a property must have appeared on all three of the magazine’s flagship award lists over its illustrious 30-year history.
The three benchmarks that constitute this ultimate travel accolade include:
-
The Hot List: An annual curation celebrating the world’s most exceptional and groundbreaking new hotel openings.
-
The Gold List: A definitive showcase of Condé Nast Traveler editors’ personal favourite hotels across the globe.
-
The Readers’ Choice Awards: A purely audience-driven ranking voted on annually by millions of global travellers, representing one of the industry’s most trusted marks of excellence.
