The AHEAD Europe shortlist has been announced, and features a secluded Nordic treehouse, the reimagining of Sir Edward Lutyens iconic Midland Bank and an urban beach resort, amongst other projects.
Representing a selection of the most ambitious, accomplished and innovative hotels from across the continent, winners will be revealed at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London on 20 November 2017 at an event celebrating the best in hotel design and the guest experience across 16 categories.
A panel of judges, chaired by Javier Hortal, Regional Director of Technical Services EMEA, Mandarin Oriental, will now assess each project in terms of both creative and commercial excellence, with the winners going on to compete in a global AHEAD biennale in 2019.
