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 />
