Each year, Boutique Design recognizes 18 emerging hospitality designers for their notable contributions and achievements.
These rising stars will be highlighted in the Fall 2025 edition of Boutique Design magazine, and honored in November at the Gold Key Awards ceremony and during Boutique Design New York (BDNY). The deadline for submissions is Friday, August 1st.
Submit your nominations to celebrate the industry’s future leaders!
Eligible Boutique 18 nominees should have approximately five to 10 years of experience in the hospitality industry and be actively engaged in the design and/or architecture process.
Nominees can be part of the nominator’s firm, another design firm or brand, or have recently started their own studio. The selected class will be announced in September.
