About Hospitality Awards

A Single Home for Every Corner of Hospitality

Hospitality Awards was created to give the global hospitality, travel, wellness and dining industries one credible, unified platform for recognition. Rather than a single programme, it is the umbrella for four independent, merit-based awards — each with its own jury, criteria and gala presence, together covering hotels, resorts, airlines, cruise lines, spas, restaurants, chefs and the general managers who lead them.

Every result across all four programmes is decided by independent industry experts against published criteria. There is no public voting — recognition is earned, never bought.

FAQ

Hotel & Hospitality Awards: Frequently Asked Questions

Twenty answers to the questions hotels, spas, restaurants and general managers ask most about entering and winning international hospitality awards.

Hospitality Awards is the umbrella platform for five merit-based recognition programmes organised by Golden Tree Events LLC: the International Travel Awards (hotels and resorts), International Spa & Beauty Awards, International Restaurant Awards, World GM Awards and World 5 Star Hotel Awards. Every winner listed on this site is attributed to the programme that recognised it.
Hotel awards recognise properties that perform at the top of their category — luxury, five-star, boutique, business, city, resort and more. Any hotel or resort, from an independent boutique property to an international chain, can be nominated in the category that describes it best.
Choose the programme that fits your property, pick the category, and complete the online nomination form with the supporting information requested. The form takes a few minutes; you can nominate your own hotel or nominate another business.
No. Submitting a nomination is free of charge in all five programmes. Winner package costs apply only to winners who choose to take a package after the results.
Each programme is judged separately by an independent jury against its published criteria. There is no public voting, and a nomination plan or fee has no bearing on the result.
The most-entered hotel categories include Best 5 Star Hotel, Best Luxury Hotel, Best Luxury Boutique Hotel, Best Business Hotel and Best City Hotel, alongside resort, family, beach and design-led categories. See the full category list.
Yes. Boutique hotels, guesthouses, bed-and-breakfasts, villas and holiday-home operators are all eligible in the International Travel Awards, and five-star boutique properties can also enter the World 5 Star Hotel Awards.
Yes. Hotel spas, day spas, wellness retreats, salons and clinics enter the International Spa & Beauty Awards, with categories such as Best Hotel Spa, Best Day Spa and Best Wellness Spa.
Yes. Restaurants, cafés, fine-dining venues and dining concepts enter the International Restaurant Awards, with categories by cuisine and format such as Best Fine Dining Restaurant, Best Italian Restaurant and Best Cafe.
Yes. The World GM Awards recognise general managers and hospitality leaders as individuals, with categories for established, young and emerging general managers. A property can nominate its own GM.
Nominations for the 2026 season close on 15 October 2026. The jury review runs from 20 September to 20 October 2026, and winners are confirmed and notified privately between 3 and 30 October 2026.
The gala ceremony takes place on 14 November 2026 at the Westin Marina Hotel, Dubai, UAE, from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Winners from all five programmes are presented at the same event.
No. Winners are decided by the jury before the gala and are notified privately. Attendance is recommended for the presentation and networking, but winners who cannot attend receive their trophy and materials afterwards.
Winners receive an official winner notification and are listed in the public winner directory with their programme, category and year. Trophies, certificates, digital winner seals and media materials are provided through the winner package, which is optional.
Yes. The programmes are open to hospitality organisations in 200+ countries and territories, and entrants from 198 countries have taken part so far. The country pages show nominees and winners by country.
The International Travel Awards are one of the five programmes united here. On this site they are presented through their hotel and resort entrants; the programme's own website carries its full directory, including travel businesses.
No. Results in every programme are decided by independent jury evaluation only. Popularity, social media following and votes play no part.
Yes. A group can nominate several properties, and a single property can enter more than one category or programme where it qualifies — for example a hotel in the Travel Awards, its spa in the Spa & Beauty Awards and its general manager in the World GM Awards.
The winner directory lists every recorded winner by year and by programme, and the country pages list nominees and winners for each participating country, each with the programme, category and year.
A recognised award gives a hotel third-party validation it can use in sales, PR and online listings: winner seals on the website and booking channels, press announcements and content for social media. Recognition is earned on merit and is not a guarantee of bookings or rankings.
