The shortlist for the 2024 Hotel Cateys has been revealed, recognising the most successful hotel operators and their employees in the UK.
The awards, supported by headline sponsor Bidfood, remain the hotel industry’s only truly independent benchmark of operational excellence, with entrants judged by their peers and industry experts.
Shortlists are not revealed for the Hotelier of the Year, sponsored by Taylors of Harrogate, the Outstanding Contribution Award, sponsored by Karcher, or the Extra Mile Award, sponsored by OpenTable. These winners will be revealed at a glittering ceremony at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge on 25 November.
