The world’s best hotels, resorts, destinations, spas, trains, car rentals, luggage, airlines, airports and cruises by traveler.

Nobu hospitality, the global lifestyle brand founded by Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper, is proud to announce that five of its design-focused properties have been recognized at the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler 2021 Readers’ Choice Awards.

Nobu Ryokan Malibu, an exclusive hideaway on the California coast, was named the # 1 hotel in California. The Nobu Ryokan Malibu is a triumph of architectural carpentry and low-key hospitality, honoring the traditional Japanese ryokan with teak bathtubs, expansive ocean views, timeless works of art and an ethos of pure tranquility.

In the midwest Nobu Hotel Chicago, which recently opened in the vibrant West Loop neighborhood, was named one of Chicago’s Top 10 Hotels. Nobu Hotel Los Cabos was named among the top 15 hotels in Mexico while Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace deserves its place among the top 10 hotels in Las Vegas. At the Eastcoast, Nobu Hotel Miami Beach was named one of the top 20 hotels in Miami for the fourth year in a row for its unrivaled oceanfront location and David Rockwell’s contemporary beach house design.

“We are proud to have five of our hotels recognized by Condé Nast Traveler readers. This is a remarkable achievement and we would like to thank our great colleagues in Malibu, Los Cabos, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Miami Beach for providing exceptional experiences for our guests. We also thank our travel partners for their support for the brand and the dedication of our hotel owners, ”said Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality.
