AHEAD, the Awards for Hospitality Experience and Design, has announced the winners for its Europe 2022 edition during a live award ceremony at Evolution London.

After receiving over 200 entries spanning 23 countries, AHEAD’s regional judging panel of leading hoteliers, architects, interior designers and industry commentators narrowed-down their winners in 17 categories.

From a former monastery in northern Italy to a towering newbuild in London’s West End, the winners demonstrate the wide variety of experiences on offer today, as well as the quality and originality of design concepts that have seen the industry flourish.

In keeping with AHEAD Europe’s annual dress code, this year’s ‘black tie with a twist’ was ‘Balearic/Boho Black Tie’, inspired by the laid-back luxury of the Balearic isles and the bohemian lifestyle it evokes.

The resulting winners will now go on to compete against other regions, with worldwide champions crowned at the next AHEAD Global edition. See the full list of winners below:
