We are so excited to announce the launch of Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown, a collection of the best of the best of the best hotels out there.
This group of hotels, which premieres today across our US and UK markets, is special for many reasons. This is the only group of hotels that have won all three of our major awards: Hot List, Gold List and Readers’ Choice Awards. To be a Hot List winner, a hotel had to have been one of the best new openings in its first year. To make Gold List means it has been selected as an editor’s favorite, and to be on our Readers’ Choice Awards means that our audience has voted the property as one of the top hotels they have ever stayed at. Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown is therefore based off of nearly four decades of awards, accolades, and recognition across the industry.
I personally love how diverse this collection is: Condé Nast Traveler’s Triple Crown includes extraordinary indie properties, like Puglia’s Borgo Egnazia, called by Condé Nast Traveler Italia editor Maddalena Fossati one of the greatest examples of a masseria, anywhere. There are, of course, the heavy hitters from our favorite brands like Four Seasons at the Surf Club, with its numerous pools and divine lobby bar, which many feel is the best hotel in the larger Miami area (and that is saying something!). The group features sustainable darlings like Babylonstoren in South Africa and true regional gems like the storied La Mamounia, a landmark of Marrakech’s unrivaled hospitality scene.
So please, have a look, poke around, see how many of these places you have already made it to—and start booking those places you’ve dreamed of staying at. Expect to see more of Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown moving forward, to help you plan your next great couples trip, Spanish escape, winter getaway, and much, much more.
