Introducing the Winners of the 17th Annual HD Awards

Hotel Milla Montis and Gessi’s Hi-Fi Thermostatic Shower Mixers were named Best in Show

Words by: HD Staff • Photos by Gustav Willeit

Hospitality Design (HD) magazine announced project and product winners during the 17th annual HD Awards ceremony. The event, which honors the year’s best and most innovative achievements in design from around the globe, was held yesterday at Cipriani South Street in New York. The breadth of the industry was showcased in the more than 1,000 projects and products submissions across a total of 40 combined categories.

Of the winners, Hotel Milla Montis in Alto Adige, Italy received Best in Show in projects, while Hi-Fi Thermostatic from Gessi North America was named Best in Show for products.

The project judges included Aaron Anderson of the 26 Co, Markus Schreyer of Design Hotels, Emily Keip of Hyatt, Kimberly Jackson of AvroKO, Alex Holloway and Na Li of Holloway Li, Nigel Hatcher of Marriott, Verena Haller of the Standard Hotels, Meridith Zimmerman of RLJ Lodging Trust, and John Cooper of AMS Hospitality. Products were judged by Malene Barnett of Black Artists + Designers Guild (BADG), Matt Berman of Workshop/APD, and Gina Deary and Sara Talleux of KTGY Simeone Deary Design Group.

Chosen by the HD editorial staff, the HD Awards also recognized Kimpton’s Ave Bradley as Hotelier of the Year, and AvroKO as Design Firm of the Year. Moreover, Archana Menon of the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) won the third annual HD/West Elm Student Product Design Competition for her Bloom floor lamp, and the Hospitality Diversity Action Council (HDAC) honored Dyonne Fashina of Toronto-based studio Denizens of Design as the recipient of its augural Awards of Excellence.

Thank you to our sponsors: Mandy Li Collection and Tarkett Hospitality (Title Sponsors); William-Sonoma/West Elm (Student Competition); Daltile (VIP Table); Cortina Leathers (Supporting Sponsor); and Fabric Innovations (Hotelier of the Year Sponsor).
