aspire design and home is proud to announce the inaugural release of its Destinations by Design: Top 50 in Hospitality & Travel Awards. Led by Jill Carvajal of Front Row NYC, the exclusive editorial tribute honors the most innovative minds and transformative projects at the intersection of design, travel and luxury hospitality.
Launching in June 2025 across aspire design and home’s travel platform and social channels, this prestigious feature will spotlight hotels, resorts and design leaders from around the world who are redefining what it means to travel beautifully — with purpose, creativity and soul.
The Top 50 list represents a curated celebration of design excellence, cultural storytelling, and guest-centric innovation. From boutique beach retreats to cutting-edge urban hotels, these honorees are shaping the emotional and aesthetic fabric of modern hospitality. Each selected property and creative force is recognized for their commitment to elevating the travel experience through world-class design and visionary thinking.
“Destinations by Design is more than an awards list — it’s a window into the future of how we live, travel and connect,” said Jill Carvajal, Front Row NYC, CEO and head of Destinations by Design Awards for aspire design and home. “These honorees aren’t just creating beautiful spaces—they’re crafting stories, fostering community and inspiring people to engage with the world in more meaningful ways.”
