Celebrating the best new hospitality projects in Europe, the winners of AHEAD Europe 2020 have been revealed as part of a digital ceremony broadcast on the AHEAD website.

London’s The Standard was the biggest winner of the night, taking home an impressive five accolades including the coveted Hotel of the Year trophy. Apfelhotel, situated in Saltusio in Italy, was awarded best Guestrooms and best Spa & Wellness, while Birch in Hertfordshire collected the prizes for Visual Identity and New Concept of the Year.

From a playful retreat that speaks of craftsmanship, reuse and repair to a Cretan resort that delivers a soulful take on the Mediterranean escape, the diverse list of winners recognises the best executed and most ambitious design schemes and experiences the continent has to offer.
