The Finalists
The highest-scoring entries across every category of the Hospitality Excellence Awards 2026.
Finalists are still to be announced
Finalists are revealed once judging is complete, ahead of the ceremony. Entries are still open — this list is not closed yet.
A mark of excellence
Being named a finalist is not a consolation for not winning. It is a scored, independent verdict that your work stands with the best in the industry.
Scored, then scored again
Reaching the final means two independent judges rated your evidence highly and a moderator agreed with both of them.
A mark you keep
Finalist status is yours whatever happens on the day — including the digital mark and a place in the published list.
How a finalist is chosen
The same framework applies at every stage — what changes is how many judges have looked at the entry and how closely the scores are moderated.
There's a category with your name on it
0 honours across the industry — each a different stage for a different story. Find the one built for yours, and enter as many as genuinely fit.
