Hyatt Regency Kyoto Selected for Condé Nast Traveller's New 'Triple Crown' Award

Hyatt Regency Kyoto (644-2 Sanjusangendo Mawari, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City; General Manager: Timothy O'Driscoll) has been selected for the 'Triple Crown,' a new hotel collection announced on June 2, 2026, by the globally prestigious luxury travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller.

The 'Triple Crown' is a special collection that certifies only hotels that have been selected across all three of the magazine's major annual hotel awards: the Hot List, the Gold List, and the Readers' Choice Awards. It features only hotels worldwide that have maintained excellent hospitality and consistently high evaluations over many years. This year, only eight hotels in Japan were selected. Among them, three are in Kyoto City, and Hyatt Regency Kyoto is one of the inaugural award-winning hotels.

Encouraged by this award, Hyatt Regency Kyoto, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026, expresses its gratitude to guests from Japan and abroad and will continue to strive to provide an even better stay experience.
