We present inelastic neutron scattering measurements on Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ that reveal a clear inconsistency with its established single ion Hamiltonian. Specifically, we show that a crystal field doublet near 60~meV is split by approximately 3~meV. Furthermore, this crystal field splitting is not isolated to Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ but can also be found in its chemical pressure analogs, Ho$_2$Ge$_2$O$_7$ and Ho$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$.
