Five Auberge Collection Properties Named to Conde Nast Traveler’s Inaugural Triple Crown Awards

The newly launched award recognizes Auberge Collection among the world's most exceptional hotels

BETHESDA, MD - June 26, 2026 - Auberge Collection, the award-winning portfolio of one-of-a-kind luxury hotels, resorts, safaris, and residences, is proud to share that five of its properties have been recognized by Conde Nast Traveler's Triple Crown, a new award spotlighting the world's greatest hotels. Designed to serve as the most authoritative benchmark of excellence within the global hospitality industry, the Condé Nast Traveler's Triple Crown honors properties that are truly the best of the best, by all standards. This recognition further reinforces Auberge Collection's position as a leader in luxury hospitality, with each honored property embodying the brand's philosophy of consistently delivering extraordinary experiences, service, design, and sense of place.

"It is an incredible honor to have five Auberge properties recognized by Condé Nast Traveler's Triple Crown in its inaugural year," says Christian Clerc, President and CEO, Auberge Collection. "This recognition comes at an exciting moment for the brand as we continue a period of thoughtful, strategic growth, including our recent expansion into Africa with the launch of Auberge Safari and the forthcoming debut of London's Cambridge House and The Knox in Dallas."

The Condé Nast Traveler Triple Crown is not a list but a collection of trophy winners, a rare breed of superior hotels that have been favored by the industry and Condé Nast Traveler editors and audience. Only hotels that have won all three of Condé Nast Traveler's flagship awards lists-the Hot List, the Gold List, and the Readers' Choice Awards-at some point in the past 30 years qualify. The Hot List honors the best new hotels to have opened in the past year; The Gold List is the annual selection of CNT editors' favorite hotels; and The Readers' Choice Awards are voted for by CNT's audiences every year via reader survey.

Auberge Collection properties awarded on this year's list include:

• Commodore Perry Estate, Auberge Collection (Austin, Texas)
• Domaine des Etangs, Auberge Collection (Massignac, France)
• Esperanza, Auberge Collection (Los Cabos, Mexico)
• Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Collection (Pérez Zeledón, Costa Rica)
• Solage, Auberge Collection (Napa Valley, California)

Across the portfolio, each Auberge Collection property is shaped by its distinct setting and brought to life through elevated design, impeccable service, and immersive experiences rooted in place. From the historic elegance of Commodore Perry Estate in Austin, the French countryside charm of Domaine des Etangs, and the coastal beauty of Esperanza in Los Cabos to the rolling hills of Hacienda AltaGracia in Costa Rica and the wine country luxury of Solage in Napa Valley, each destination is united by a shared commitment to excellence, offering guests an experience that is both unique to its environment and unmistakably Auberge.

Alongside the recent debut of Auberge Safari, Auberge Collection will introduce two new properties in 2026, including Cambridge House, Auberge Collection in London and The Knox, Auberge Collection in Dallas. Cambridge House will bring refined luxury, bespoke service, world-class dining, and a dedicated wellbeing destination to London's storied Mayfair, while The Knox will offer an urban retreat in Dallas's Knox Street district shaped by the neighborhood's creative spirit and defined by elevated design, dining, and thoughtfully curated guest experiences.
