FOUR REGIONAL AWARDS PROGRAMMES / ONE GLOBAL CELEBRATION

About

AHEAD is the leading Awards for Hospitality Experience and Design, organised by Sleeper.

Each year, the series celebrates the achievements of those shaping the hospitality design industry, with the awards divided into four regions – Asia, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Europe. There are a range of categories to enter, recognising everything from hotel newbuilds to renovations, as well as their stand-out areas such as bars, restaurants, spas and more.

Entries are judged by four prestigious panels comprising top names from the hospitality design world, before the winners are then announced at regional ceremonies in Singapore, New York, Dubai and London.

Once the regional winners have been announced, the annual AHEAD 100 is released; a global list of the best new hotel openings, showcasing the projects that accumulated the most votes as part of AHEAD's judging process. This is then whittled down to a global Top 10 projects, counting down to the Ultimate Accolade, the final and most coveted award of the series.
