The inaugural edition for the award for Italian hospitality excellence will take place in Milan.
Hotel Principe di Savoia, Milan. September 25th 2024. 300 guests. 30 finalists. 10 winners. These are the numbers for the Best Luxury Hotel Awards’ first edition, the new recognition of the Italian hospitality excellence conceived and organized by Teamwork Hospitality with the contribution of Elle Decor and EHMA’s (European Hotel Manager Association).
Officially announced in January 2024, the event has received over 200 applications to date, representing more than 30% of Italy's luxury 5-star hotels.
The ten categories include best service, restaurant, bar, breakfast, spa & wellness, sustainability, technology, design, new opening, and general manager. Among these, the best general manager and best service categories have attracted the most interest.
In over 20 years, the growth of the 5-star offering in Italy has been approximately 250%, thanks to new international players who have invested in the national territory, such as Baccarat, Corinthia, Cheval Blanc, The Ritz Carlton, and Airelles.
