In pictures: The Brit List Awards 2024
Continuing the tradition of The Brit List Awards, the event returned in 2024 to celebrate the brightest stars in the world of hospitality, but this time in a bigger venue and with more of our industry members in situ. From glittering acts to a neon-lit bed – and everything in between – here are the official photographs that capture the spirit of the awards campaign…
This year, Hotel Designs and partners once again upped the ante to deliver the ultimate party when hosting the sold out Brit List Awards 2024, presented by Hotel Designs Editor Sophie Harper and Publisher Katy Phillips, live from London’s iconic Ministry of Sound. Music blasting from the ‘home of dance music’s’ gates and Red Carpet Partner Balsan‘s groovy chic red, pink, green and white carpet welcomed more than 600 of the best architects, designers, hoteliers, suppliers and hospitality brands from across the globe, to gather for a confetti covered extravaganza of an awards ceremony exclusively headline partnered by Crosswater.
While two DJs — one of whom was Showcase Partner Hamilton Litestat‘s very own Digital Marketing Manager John Stainer — battled it out in an ultimate ode to the 90s club scene, The Brit List 2024 was handed out, which contains the profiles of the leading 75 interior designers, architects and hoteliers in Britain:
A hand balancing act held guests in awe and suspense ahead of the hotly-anticipated announcement of this year’s 13 individual Brit List Award winners. Announced on a sequined stage in ‘The Box’ room, winners were invited to join our hosts in front of the cheering crowd to take a bow and collect their newly designed for 2024 Brit List Awards trophy. Exiting stage left, the champions joined Showcase Partner BoConcept in their VIP lounge, where they were handed a VIP cocktail too, kindly provided by Showcase Partner Hypnos Beds; the brand behind, possibly, the Ministry of Sound’s first luxury bed installation, and the all-electric HGV lorry which kidnapped our hosts — entirely accidentally — in the Brit List Awards 2024 teaser video.
Later on, in celebration of the newly crowned best Brits, a gold and glittering bikini-clad hula hoop act took to the stage to twirl up a storm, in a mesmerising and acrobatic human-slinky performance. Eyes continued to stay agog as attendees were dazzled by a bejewelled burlesque dancer who appeared behind a plume of silver ostrich feathers and pulled out moves that some of us can only wince at the thought of… The evenings incredible performances were rounded off by a sequin-caped, cowboy boot-wearing, disco diva opera singer, who fuelled the pumping party vibes with her explosive renditions of 90s club classics, but the Brit List afterparty continued into the very late hours of this morning.
Hotel Design‘s Editor Sophie Harper said of the event: “What a fantastic night The Brit List Awards 2024 turned out to be! Aside from our very deserving winners taking the limelight, the evening was packed full of fun and entertainment and couldn’t have gone better. We have received an influx of wonderful messages already from attendees and are still on cloud nine from the celebrations.”
Thankfully wellness is a still going strong trend in the hospitality industry, as we are sure there will be a few sore heads to nurse today, however, you can scroll down to either reminisce or see how the evening unfolded…
