Hospitality Awards Legacy : 25 years of innovation and excellence in F&B

The Hospitality Awards have been recognizing outstanding initiatives in the industry for the past 25 years. This week, the Best Innovative F&B Concept category acknowledges innovative, immersive, and visionary dining experiences. Beyond just food, this award celebrates the creation of a unique culinary world that leaves a lasting impression on guests.

The Best Innovative F&B Concept category highlights the most innovative catering concepts within the hotel industry, including immersive venues, novel culinary settings, cultural rituals, and sustainable approaches to hospitality. It aims to showcase excellence in customer experience design, going beyond the quality of food served. The category distinguishes initiatives in two sub-categories:

1. Corporate: concepts developed at a group or chain level.
2. Locals: projects executed locally by an establishment, regardless of group affiliation.

Incorporating nomadic, suspended, seasonal, or sensorial elements, these concepts demonstrate that catering plays a crucial role in differentiation, storytelling, and customer loyalty in the hotel sector.
