AHEAD ASIA AWARDS<br />

WINNERS<br />

AHEAD, the Awards for Hospitality<br />

Experience and Design has revealed<br />

its winners at The Capitol Theatre Singapore<br />

on the 7th March.<br />

THE<br />

WINNERS<br />

The awards celebrate design in all its forms and the guest experience<br />

it creates in hospitality projects worldwide. A panel<br />

of judges, comprising industry leading hoteliers, architects, and<br />

interior designers, assessed entries on their aesthetic excellence,<br />

guest experience and commercial viability.<br />

The event is the first of eight regional award ceremonies taking<br />

place around the world in <strong>2017</strong> and 2018, celebrating the<br />

best new hotels in Asia, the Americas, the Middle East & Africa,<br />

and Europe.<br />

These regional heats will culminate in a Global Biennale in 2019<br />

which will see the winners of the regional heats compete headto-head<br />

to decide a worldwide winner in each category.<br />

AHEAD Director, Matt Turner comments: “The judges had<br />

a tough job on their hands choosing winners of the inaugural<br />

AHEAD Asia awards as the standard was exceptionally high<br />

across the board. The winners were selected for their exceptional<br />

design and its contribution to the guest experience in<br />

these outstanding hotel properties.”<br />
