Boutique Design magazine presents the 44th annual Gold Key Awards for Excellence in Hospitality Design. Regarded as one of the most prestigious accolades in the industry, this award recognizes outstanding design from across the globe in 23 categories, from standout hotel spaces spanning all sectors to restaurants, wellness-focused venues, and other hospitality settings. New this year are categories for Design at Sea (cruise ships and yachts) and Next-Gen Housing (for senior living, multifamily, co-living, etc.)
To be eligible for the 2024 Gold Key Awards, new construction, conversion, or renovation work must be completed by July 26, 2024. A soon-to-be announced judging panel of industry experts will select winners and finalists in each of the 23 categories, as well as the Judges’ So Cool and the Designer of the Year honors.
