AHEAD MEA – the awards programme celebrating the best in hospitality design and experience – has announced its shortlist for 2021.
Celebrating the best new hospitality projects in the Middle East & Africa, the AHEAD MEA 2021 shortlist spans the length and breadth of the region. The shortlisted hotels represent some of the year’s most ambitious and ground-breaking projects, and showcase an expansive range of scales, styles and sensibilities.
Assessed on merits of creative excellence and commercial viability, hotels and individual facilities alike will be recognised across 13 categories. Along with the entered categories, there will also be four special awards chosen by the judging panel.
This year’s winners will be announced at a ceremony on 9 September 2021 at Bluewaters Dubai.
