Lanson Place Causeway Bay, Hong Kong has been crowned Best Urban Hotel in the Africa, Asia & Middle East region at the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2026, marking yet another milestone for the boutique luxury property.
The winners were announced in London at a ceremony attended by leading hospitality professionals from around the world. The awards, renowned for spotlighting exceptional hotels and travel experiences, are determined through a meticulous process combining online voting, guest reviews and insights from industry experts.
A Trusted Global Benchmark for Independent Travel Excellence
For more than four decades, Condé Nast Johansens has been regarded as a global authority for independent travellers seeking standout stays across the world. Its annual Awards for Excellence recognise hotels that consistently demonstrate exceptional quality, service and guest satisfaction.
