Boutique Design magazine presents the 44th annual Gold Key Awards for Excellence in Hospitality Design.
One of the most prestigious accolades in the hospitality design field, this award recognizes outstanding design from across the globe in 23 categories—from standout hotel spaces spanning all sectors to restaurants, wellness-focused venues, and other hospitality settings. New categories this year: Design at Sea (cruise ships and yachts) and Next-Gen Housing (for senior living, multifamily, co-living, etc.)
The competition’s deadline has been extended to Friday, August 2nd. The cost for each entry is $225. Check out the award categories and enter today!
The Gold Key Awards gala will take place Monday, November 11th at New York’s Cipriani Midtown in conjunction with Boutique Design New York (BDNY). Tickets will be available for purchase this summer.
The winners and finalists in each category, in addition to Judges’ So Cool and the Designer of the Year, will be recognized at this special awards ceremony. The event will also celebrate the soon-to-be-revealed 2024 Boutique 18 class, along with Boutique Design’s Up-and-Coming Hotelier of the Year.
