The Boutique Hotel Awards is the first and only international awards organisation exclusively dedicated to recognising unique excellence among luxury boutique hotels and is the only independent awards organisation in hospitality where each and every property is visited personally by an experienced hotel judge. Entrants are either self-nominated or selected by a committee of travel experts and hotel guests.
The judges ensure that each property is capable of transporting guests to another world by experiencing the hotel’s own unique culture and stylistic flair.
