This year we are starting a revised system of presenting awards across three events. But don't worry, if you / your hotel / an individual is involved, you will know clearly from us which event includes you. Every Finalist or Region Winner in a Category at the 23rd Awards Night Gala Dinner on 29th November will be sent a letter by post in September with full details.

Award titles made to hotels or industry titles specifically will be dated 2027, to give a full year of value to the winner; while personal honours or special individual awards will be dated 2026 to recognise achievement to date.
