MR | COMO Hotels and Resorts scoops top gongs in Australia and South Pacific in Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific. COMO The Treasury achieved two awards and has been voted ‘Best City Hotel’ and ‘Best Hotel Spa’ in Australia. Additionally, COMO Laucala Island won ‘Best Resort’ in the South Pacific.
COMO The Treasury, designed by Kerry Hill, pairs Hill’s contemporary design with COMO’s familiar emphasis on understated luxury. The hotel is the centrepiece of Perth’s iconic State Buildings following a major restoration in 2015.
The vibrant hub of retail and dining today features some of Perth’s most impressive dining venues including Long Chim and Petition and the hotel’s own Wildflower and Post. COMO’s wellness philosophy comes to life at the property’s COMO Shambhala Urban Escape which provides a personalised focus on wellbeing for both hotel and external guests.
COMO Laucala Island is an extraordinary natural paradise in Fiji — one of the world’s largest private island resorts, with just 25 villas. After joining the COMO Brand in December 2021, COMO Laucala Island recalibrates the idea of luxury.
In essence of COMO’s core, dining at the resort is centred around health, wellbeing and sustainability.
The island’s COMO Shambhala Retreat is a celebration of the many fresh, nourishing resources that can be found in Fiji. Treatments make use of the island’s herbs, stones, flowers, fruits and soils, with the spa located on a forested hilltop location among the birds.
Celebrating the destinations, hotels, and experiences that make Asia Pacific so outstanding in hospitality, Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards Asia Pacific spotlighted the individuals, hotels, and brands shaping the landscape of travel and hospitality in 16 countries in the region, and beyond.
Winners were chosen through a readers’ survey open to anyone in the world, during March and April of 2023, and were ranked in top-10 or top-5 lists, depending on the category and destination.
