We propose that the recently discovered luminous hypersoft X-ray sources can be explained by accretion onto a binary black hole in a hierarchical triple system. For black hole masses $\sim 15 M_\odot$, the orbital separation of the internal binary might be $\sim 0.01 $~AU. If the donor provides $\gtrsim 10^{-8} M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$, then the circumbinary accretion disc can explain the observed properties of the most luminous supersoft sources.
