Awards

Join us to celebrate the passion of independently spirited hoteliers and designers with the Independent Hotel Show Awards 2025. This is your opportunity to get your hotel recognised by our esteemed panel of expert judges and celebrated by your industry peers. 

Now in its second edition, the Independent Hotel Show Awards launched in 2024 with an incredible line-up of nominees, showcasing some of the most inspiring and forward-thinking hotels across the DACH region. From beautifully designed spaces to outstanding service and sustainability, the awards kicked off with style and set a high benchmark for what’s to come. 

Shortlists will be carefully selected by our judging panel, after which the public will have their say and vote for the winners. All shortlisted entries and winners across our four award categories will be celebrated live on stage and presented with their respective awards.

Entries for this year's awards are now open. Only hotels with a 3-star rating or above are eligible to enter our awards. Explore our categories via the links below. Entries will close on Monday 4th August at 5pm.
