A Night to REMEMBER

Celebrating excellence at the 15th Annual Hotelier India Awards...

- VINODINI RAO

On a truly memorable evening in Delhi, the JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity transformed into a dazzling hub of celebration as the 15th Annual Hotelier India Awards unfolded with unparalleled grandeur. Industry leaders, hospitality professionals, and aspiring hoteliers converged to honour the finest talents in the sector. The event was a showcase of excellence, recognizing achievements across all facets of hospitality - from young hoteliers and seasoned General Managers to Housekeepers and Chief Engineers.

The 15th edition of the Hotelier India Awards saw an unprecedented number of nominations, with entries pouring in across 21 diverse categories. This surge in participation not only underscored the awards' growing prestige but also posed a significant challenge for the distinguished jury members. Their task of sifting through a sea of applications to identify the best of the best was both daunting and rewarding.

The meticulous selection process began last month at the Jury Meet, hosted at JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar. Each nominee was evaluated rigorously, ensuring that only the most deserving candidates progressed to the final rounds.

The most coveted category, 'GM of the Year' demanded an additional layer of scrutiny. On the day of the awards, shortlisted General Managers arrived from across the nation to face an intense round of interviews with the Grand Jury at JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity. This grilling session reflected the high standards and integrity of the awards.

Welcoming the Hospitality Fraternity: An Evening of Camaraderie

As the clock struck 5 p.m, the grand Ballroom of JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity was abuzz with excitement. Hospitality professionals from all corners of the country greeted one another, exchanging stories and fostering connections. The atmosphere was electric, brimming with anticipation and pride.
