Beckons Celebrates Triple Crown Honor from Condé Nast Traveler Across Three Iconic Lodges
Australia-and Chile-based lodges recognized among the world’s finest hotels in new Triple Crown collection
Denver, CO (June 3, 2026) Beckons, a curated portfolio of luxury lodges in the world's most remote and remarkable places, is proud to announce that three of its flagship properties – Southern Ocean Lodge, Silky Oaks Lodge and Tierra Patagonia – have been awarded Condé Nast Traveler’s inaugural Triple Crown distinction, recognizing their enduring excellence on a global stage.
Introduced in 2026, the Triple Crown honors a select group of hotels and lodges featured across all three of Condé Nast Traveler’s most influential lists – The Hot List, The Gold List and Readers’ Choice Awards – at any point over the past 30 years. Slated as the most definitive collection of the best hotels in the world, the award underscores a rare consistency in delivering exceptional guest experiences, design and service. See the full Triple Crown list here.
Australia’s Southern Ocean Lodge, perched dramatically along the clifftops of Kangaroo Island’s rugged coastline; Silky Oaks Lodge, set adjacent to the 180-million-year-old, World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest; and Chile’s Tierra Patagonia, set against the striking backdrop of Torres del Paine National Park, each exemplify Beckons’ commitment to place-led journeys of discovery and travel that leaves a lasting impression.
The Condé Nast Traveler Hot List celebrates the most exciting new hotel openings globally each year. The Gold List represents the publication’s editors’ annual selection of their favorite hotels worldwide. The Readers’ Choice Awards, voted by discerning travelers and past guests, remain among the most respected accolades in the industry.
Beckons Chief Executive Officer Michael Crawford said the Triple Crown recognition reflected the commitment of the teams who brought these remarkable places and their stories to life, every day.
“This recognition is deeply meaningful as it reflects not only a moment in time, but a sustained commitment to excellence across decades,”
said Mr Crawford. “To see Southern Ocean Lodge, Silky Oaks Lodge and Tierra Patagonia each acknowledged across all three of Condé Nast Traveler’s most influential awards speaks to the passion of our teams and the enduring appeal of these extraordinary places. We are honored to be included in this inaugural Triple Crown cohort.”
The achievement further cements Beckons’ position as a leader in experiential luxury, with each property offering a distinct yet deeply connected sense of place, grounded in nature, culture and thoughtful design.
