Spanning across three countries in Asia, the hotels were included amongst the best on the continent by readers in the 33rd annual ranking by CNT.
Though the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly limited global travel this year, readers of Condé Nast Traveler continued with the annual listing of their favorite destinations and venues. In the award announcement, the magazine stated, “… the names in this year’s edition are the ones… that got [readers] through the months without travel. These are the enduring gems that can withstand the test of time and the vicissitudes of circumstances.” The Readers’ Choice Awards covered categories from favorite hotels, resorts, and spas, to top trains and airlines.
The seven KPF-designed hotels were ranked in the four following categories:
- #6 Aman Tokyo
- #14 Signiel Seoul
Voting began in April 2020 where readers were able to nominate and vote on their favorite travel destinations. Read more about the awards here.
