The 24th Hospitality Awards ceremony is fast approaching, and the results of the nominations for the three finalists in each category have been validated by our international jury. On 28 November, in the presence of leading figures from the world of tourism and hospitality, we invite you to the InterContinental Paris Le Grand to discover which of the 30 pre-selected finalists will be the overall winners.
As every year, it will be up to you in several categories to make the final choice live by your public votes. Don’t miss this opportunity to express your own feelings about the shortlisted candidates.
Once again this year, the Hospitality Awards ceremony will be held under the High Patronage of the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel MACRON. It will be presided over by Puneet Chhatwal, CEO of the Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL), who will be coming specially from Mumbai.
For the past 24 years, candidates have been selected by an impartial panel of experts chosen for their professional expertise and diversity of origin. Divided into three panels, they judge the most outstanding innovations in the sector and the most exemplary initiatives.
The jury was chaired by Mouna Sepehri, an international lawyer with a dual French and Iranian culture, and co-founder of Orson, a law firm that advises top executives on corporate governance and transformation, and on the integration of artificial intelligence. Mouna Sepehri also has a wealth of executive experience with industrial groups such as Renault.
