Tonight hoteliers and staff from hotels across the country will gather together in London to see the big reveal of the Boutique Hotelier Personal Service Star Awards 2019.
After months of anticipation, the Boutique Hotelier team will take to the stage at Hilton Olympia to announce the 11 winners of various category awards, from Bar Manager of the Year to Housekeeping Manager and General Manager.
Hundreds of employees from hotels in the UK are expected to attend the event and enjoy a night of free networking, drinks and canapés to celebrate the best talent in the boutique hotel industry.
Today also sees the start of Independent Hotel Show, which is held just across the road from the awards venue at London’s Olympia exhibition centre.
After the nominations opened in July, the industry flooded Boutique Hotelier HQ with votes for their outstanding staff, and then in September we created the shortlists.
The judging panel then decided on the winners, who will be unveiled tonight at the glittering ceremony.
This year, the ceremony is sponsored by Mitre Linen, Out of Eden, Guest Talk, Rehegoo Music Group and Star Quality Hospitality.
