ACCREDITED AS THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY, THE AUSTRALIAN HOTELS ASSOCIATION NATIONAL AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE BOTH RECOGNIZE AND REWARD SUPREMACY ACROSS A VARIETY OF SEGMENTS.
This includes a selection of leading licensed venues, accommodation hotels and outstanding employees – all of whom became eligible to enter the National Awards having received a top position at the previous State Awards for Excellence Program.
Presented annually, each year sees the competition increase in difficulty as the quality of hotel services and facilities continue to reach new and astounding heights.
Living up to this legacy, the 2014 & 2015 Australian Hotels Association National Awards for Excellence were held at the world-class events room of Jupiter’s Casino on the Gold Coast.
A valuable means of raising public awareness for the industry, the winners from each category were applauded by hotel industry leaders, hoteliers, special guests and parliamentarians – all of whom attended the special event to congratulate and celebrate the hard work and dedication that is poured into Australia’s spirited hotel and hospitality sector.
