The world’s best hoteliers, travel industry influencers and members of press will gather for a night of celebration at the historic Merchant TaylorsÕ Hall, London, to honour the visionaries behind the finest boutique hotels on earth. Through a new initiative to form links between the Awards and the most established and distinguished family offices in London, the event will bring the leading boutique hotels before the eyes of the most influential luxury travellers.
The awards gala dinner also serves to bring together members of The Master Key Society. This new collaborative venture has been established by the Boutique Hotel Awards in order to facilitate exchange visits exclusively in between award winners, past and future. Creating a vibrant community of hoteliers with valuable relationships and worldwide friendships.
ÔDriven by a boundless love for our localities and a parallel passion to communicate, reflect and share, we create unique places and strive to offer memorable, unparalleled experiences. The Master Key Society is a hub, a forum and a fraternity where these special, and passionate creators meet, share ideas, inspire each other, cross-fertilise, refresh their vision and recharge batteries to further their work.Õ
