The Hotel Magazine Awards return on Wednesday 14th April 2027, with a prestigious new venue, two new award categories and another unforgettable evening celebrating the people, teams and businesses shaping the UK hotel industry.
The countdown to the Hotel Magazine Awards 2027 is officially underway, and we are delighted to announce an exciting new chapter for the event. On Wednesday 14th April, the industry will come together at the prestigious Royal Lancaster London for an evening dedicated to recognising the very best in UK hospitality.
Set against the backdrop of Hyde Park, The Royal Lancaster London is renowned for its elegant surroundings and impressive event spaces. Having taken home the coveted Hotel of the Year award last year, the venue is a fitting setting for an evening that celebrates excellence, innovation and achievement across the hotel sector. Its combination of classic sophistication and contemporary style perfectly complements the spirit of the Hotel Magazine Awards.
The 2027 awards will once again recognise the people, properties and businesses making a difference across hospitality, with 12 categories spanning the breadth of the industry. This year also sees the introduction of two brand-new accolades: Hotel Team of the Year, celebrating the people working together behind the scenes to deliver outstanding hospitality, and the Lifetime Achievement Award, recognising an individual whose contribution has left a lasting mark on the industry.
The full line-up will also include The Environment Award, Marketing Innovation Award, Best Spa and Wellness Venue, Hotel of the Year, Hotel Bar of the Year, Hotel Restaurant of the Year, Inclusive Employer Award, Unsung Hero, Technology Award and Hotelier of the Year.
But the Hotel Magazine Awards are about much more than trophies. The evening is designed as a genuine celebration of the industry, bringing together hoteliers, suppliers, brands and hospitality professionals for an evening of great food, entertainment and connection.
Guests can look forward to an exceptional gala dinner, an exclusive cocktail menu created especially for the occasion and unlimited complimentary drinks throughout the evening. With the support of an outstanding line-up of industry-leading brands, the 2027 event promises to be an opportunity to recognise success, celebrate the people behind it and enjoy a well-deserved night together.
With a new home, new categories and plenty to celebrate, the Hotel Magazine Awards 2027 is shaping up to be an unmissable date in the hospitality calendar.
Applications remain open via hotelmagazineawards.co.uk and will close at the beginning of February. We look forward to celebrating with you on 14th April!
