AHEAD, the awards for hospitality experience and design, has opened for global entries for 2024, with 20% off entry fees until 1 March.

Organised by the team behind Sleeper, Supper and Starboard magazines, AHEAD is a global awards programme that celebrates the development of new hotels worldwide, as well as the creatives behind them. An independent panel of experts – comprising architects, designers, owners, operators, developers and industry commentators – will be looking for projects that show exceptional design and functionality, catering to clients’ and guests’ needs while also demonstrating commercial viability.

Following a rigorous and comprehensive judging process, winners will be announced at four regional ceremonies throughout 2024, with categories spanning from Guestroom and Event Spaces, to Hotel Conversion and the coveted Hotel of the Year.
