Celebrating Hospitality Excellence

Founded in Strasbourg in 2018, the European Hotel Awards represent far more than a simple accolade—they are a gold standard in luxury hospitality. Each year, these awards push the boundaries of excellence, celebrating the dedication, innovation, and passion that shape the industry’s finest. Held at some of Europe’s most distinguished venues—the Grand Hotel Kempinski in Geneva, W Barcelona, Fairmont Grand Hotel Geneva, Sofitel Barcelona Skipper, and recently, the Radisson Collection Royal Copenhagen—the Awards honor the best of the best.

The European Hotel Awards carry a weight that transcends mere recognition. Winners are chosen through an exacting process by a panel of renowned experts celebrated for their discerning insight and unshakeable integrity. Earning a place as a finalist—or even more, as a winner—requires nothing less than perfection, placing recipients among the most esteemed luxury establishments globally. This distinction not only elevates their reputation but firmly establishes them as leaders on the world stage, signifying an industry benchmark.

The selection process, led by a dedicated committee, rigorously evaluates candidates across Europe, ensuring that each honoree represents a unique blend of quality, creativity, and service. Only those who truly define luxury and hospitality excellence receive this prestigious honor.

The European Hotel Awards ceremony is an exclusive event, attracting a curated gathering of VIPs, celebrities, and visionaries in hospitality, making it a touchstone occasion for the luxury sector. The impact of receiving this award reverberates long after the night, with comprehensive coverage in the European professional press and dedicated media channels. This recognition is more than an honor; it’s a resounding statement of a hotel’s commitment to unparalleled excellence, a mark of distinction that secures its place among the world’s elite in luxury hospitality.
