Cateys 2024 shortlist revealed

The biggest awards of their kind in the hospitality industry, the Cateys, which are held in partnership with P&O Cruises, recognise the strongest performers, most inspirational brands and highest flyers in the sector, as determined by the industry itself.

Over 100 judges, chosen for their expertise and industry knowledge, met at the Savoy to debate the nominees and produce our shortlist.

The winners, representing British hospitality at its best, will be revealed at a glittering event on 2 July at JW Marriott Grosvenor House London.
