India’s hospitality industry has long been renowned worldwide for its exceptional service and world-class facilities. The nation’s well-known hotels have showcased a perfect blend of luxury and traditional charm, offering unforgettable experiences. Yet, the spotlight has often focused more on grand architecture and executive leadership, leaving the dedicated individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes, underappreciated. To recognise these unsung heroes, The Hotelier India Awards, now in its 15th year, celebrated those whose efforts have shaped the industry’s success, on the 13th of December, 2024. From housekeeping managers to chefs, engineers, HR professionals, and revenue managers, the unwavering support and dedication they exhibit have been the backbone of upholding excellence in hospitality. These awards serve as a platform that honours their talent and hard work, while boosting morale, building brand awareness, and attracting future talent. The 2023 Hotelier India Awards received a record-breaking 1,500 nominations, showcasing the resilience and innovation that has driven forward India’s hospitality revival. This year too, the gala had once again lived up to its promise of being a remarkable celebration of excellence.
