Top of the game: 2015 European Hospitality Awards

17 December 2015



After months of applying, deliberating and judging, the winners of the 2015 European Hospitality Awards were announced at a gala evening in London. We take a look at who took this year’s crowns…


Leaders and dignitaries from across the international hotel industry gathered once again for the European Hospitality Awards, which were held on 12 November 2015 at London's Royal Garden Hotel.

The event has gone from strength to strength in the past six years, a fact underlined by the quality of shortlisted candidates competing across 11 categories. The judging panel also included some of hospitality's biggest names, such as EHMA president Hans Koch, Leading Hotels of the World CEO Ted Teng, Jones LangLaSalle Hotels global CEO Mark Wynne Smith, and Michael Levie, COO and co-founder of CitizenM.

Congratulations once again to all the winners and we look forward to seeing many of you competing again and attending the awards in 2016.
