Our industry has the power to change the world. And our HoteliersForGood initiatives can impact and empower young people and students around the globe. Our industry is a living laboratory of cultures. Because the hospitality industry already employs such a diverse cross-section of people – people of all different colours, cultures, languages, backgrounds, and religions – we have a gigantic head start in learning how to fix one of the worlds most burning social issue today; namely, race or racism. Academy Members all share a belief in the power of our industry to transform the lives of young people around the world, volunteering their time to support the important work of the Academy. Each year, a panel of Academy members selects the winners of the SIRIUS Academy Awards, and this endorsement by a group of academia and hospitality leaders makes these accolades arguably the most coveted in the global hospitality industry. We believe that improved gender equality at executive level is the key to our industry's future and we are committed to driving positive change through demonstrating academic research, building sponsorship and like-minded networks, transforming d e s i g n a n d d eve l o p m e n t s t ra te g i e s , a n d e n g a g i n g communication. True luxury has always been at the forefront of innovation. It should not depend on the desires or needs of "consumers", nor should it be limited by the traditional concept of utility and competitiveness, with the risk of stifling creativity. Our luxury leaders are pioneers, not followers! And sustainable luxury is more innovative than ever! Frank M. Pfaller Founder President | HoteliersGuild
RAISON D’ÊTRE & FORMAT The SIRIUS ACADEMY AWARD may well be the most distinguished award in the global hospitality industry. The award is issued by the HoteliersGuild Academy of Hospitality Arts. Created to identify, highlight and reward excellence throughout the global hospitality industry, the SIRIUS ACADEMY AWARD’S mission aims to recognise, promote and support talents from hospitality’s NextGen through scholarships and to pay tribute to Hoteliers and Hôtelières, Chefs, Architects & Designers, for their contribution to a DEEPER and more SUSTAINABLE LUXURY. The SIRIUS ACADEMY AWARD have evolved from the long established HoteliersGuild, the private society for international hospitality leaders with a pledge to Sustainable Luxury. The not-for-profit awards campaign is hosted by the HoteliersGuild Academy of Hospitality Arts and curated by its honorary co- founder Lindsey Ueberroth of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, who has donated a s i g n i fi c a n t g r a n t t o p r ov i d e s c h o l a r s h i p s f o r underprivileged aspiring students at e.g. Ecole hôtelière Lausanne, Institut Paul Bocuse, Lyon and other universities. It is also generously supported by contributions from some of the best HoteliersGuild members and their companies. At this testing time, the 2022 SIRIUS ACADEMY AWARDS will be solely organized virtually through the web, without the notion of hosting a trivial ceremony, where one is required to spend a large sum on extravagant outfits and an expensive seat at the social event’s table with the profits usually going to the organiser. All sponsors' contributions will be auctioned by a renowned London auctioneer and all the proceeds will go to the Academy's cause. We celebrate our hospitality industry, sustainable luxury, excellence and innovation in the true spirit of and in accordance with the HoteliersGuild Code of Conduct.
