About CSS Design Awards

CSS Design Awards is one of the top three international awards dedicated to web design, where skilled web designers and creative directors serve as judges. They evaluate entries based on three key criteria: UI design, UX design, and innovation. The recognition at this event illustrates MIMARU's commitment to delivering high-quality online experiences.

The Award-Winning MIMARU Website

Launched in February 2025, the newly revamped MIMARU website invites potential guests to embark on a journey filled with excitement right from the planning phase of their travel. A standout feature that played a significant role in securing awards is the introduction of the Travel Style Finder.

Key Features of the Travel Style Finder

1. Travel Style Assessment: Guests can easily determine their unique travel style by answering a few questions.
2. Recommendations Based on Real Experiences: Instead of relying solely on generic ratings, MIMARU offers insider knowledge and tips based on the experiences of past guests and staff. This personalized approach ensures each tip is rooted in authentic experiences, adding genuine value to the planning process.
3. Transforming Hotel Search into a Delightful Journey: MIMARU aims to turn what is often seen as a tedious process—finding the perfect hotel—into an enjoyable adventure filled with anticipation and discovery.

The Travel Style Finder video also showcases how this innovative tool works, emphasizing its role in creating a unique user experience.
