The Brit List Awards 2024: shortlist announced
Regarded as the industry’s most widespread campaign to identify the leading interior designers, architects, hoteliers and brands, The Brit List Awards 2024 has unveiled this year’s shortlist, which includes more than 150 individuals and projects selected across 13 categories…
Sponsored exclusively by Crosswater, The Brit List Awards 2024 Shortlist Unveiling Party has become the first point of celebration for the year-long campaign, which aims to find Britain’s best hotel interior designers, architects and hoteliers.
This year, the unveiling party was held at BYRD, the exclusive basement venue at Hart Shoreditch, where the hotel design community were welcomed to witness the official shortlist reveal for The Brit List Awards 2024.
For seven years, the awards have been a celebration and a recognition of all the design and hospitality innovation across the boards in the industry. So, it felt fitting, to not only announce the winners to our annual fanfare, but also to share the creative talent that is The Brit List Awards Shortlist, which contains more than 150 individuals and brands.
