“The overall quality of entries for this year’s European Hotel Design Awards was the highest I have seen in ten years on the judging panel,” says Matt Turner, Editor-in-Chief of Sleeper Magazine. “The voting to select the final five in each category was very close and the shortlisted entries can all be proud to have made it this far. The shortlist demonstrates the diversity of today’s hotel industry and the talent of the designers and architects who play such an important role in enhancing the guest experience for their clients. And for design practices that didn’t make the shortlist, there is still the chance to win a European Hotel Design Award by entering this year’s Tomorrow’s Hotel competition, which is now open for entries.”
