The Hotel Cateys Academy – all the winners from 2007-2023

Hotel-Cateys-Academy.jpg

The winners of the Hotel Cateys are the crème de la crème of the industry – discover them all here

The Hotel Cateys recognises the trailblazers in the hotel industry, the people who are working at the top of their game, who are bringing new ideas to the sector and who have demonstrated years of commitment and gathered unrivalled expertise. 

 

Nominations are invited for the awards and entries are scrutinised by a panel of judges, made up of previous winners of the awards and notable people in the industry. Entries are whittled down to a shortlist, who are all invited to the awards, which take place on 25 November 2024 at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London.

 

On the night there is the chance to mix with like-minded people in the hotel sector and an opportunity to be in the same room as some of the hotel greats. After a Champagne reception, guests sit down to a three-course meal with accompanying wines before the awards begin. Each winner receives a coveted Catey statue, and the envy of their peers. 

 

Our list below shows the calibre of winners at the Hotel Cateys, whether that’s a concierge quietly changing guests’ lives through their intimate knowledge of their hotel, the hotel chef catering to thousands or the housekeeper ensuring the daily chaos of hotelkeeping is swept away.

 

If you want to enter the Hotel Cateys, or you know someone who you feel deserves an award, tell us exactly what they have achieved and the effect it has had on their hotel, why they stand apart from the rest and why this is their year to be recognised.

 

You can find some tips on writing your entry here and you can find the entry form for the Hotel Cateys here. Who knows, this November you could join our list.
