AHEAD is the only global awards programme for hospitality experience and design, hosting annual ceremonies in Singapore, New York, Dubai and London to celebrate the best new projects and the teams behind them.

Organised by the team behind industry-leading publication Sleeper, AHEAD is a touchstone of design excellence across the globe, judged by 60+ industry-leading figures including architects, interior designers and developers. 

The awards are divided into four regions: Asia, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Europe. With categories ranging from Hotel Newbuild and Hotel Renovation, to Guestrooms, Bar and Restaurant, each regional panel will be looking for projects that showcase exceptional design and functionality, while demonstrating commercial viability.
