Recognising hotel design and the creation of supreme guest experiences in all forms, the awards celebrate the key collaborators in hotel projects who strive to achieve exceptional standards in the hospitality industry.

Hosted by Sleeper and taking place in November 2018, the awards are entered, judged and attended by leading hotel owners, developers, operators, architects and designers from around the world.

Chris Ward, Group Marketing Director at Hypnos, said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring both the Ahead MEA and the Ahead Europe awards this year. As Hypnos continues to grow internationally, we hope this sponsorship will enforce our commitment to design-led solutions, sustainability, and our partnership approach with hoteliers from across the globe, to evolve the guest experience into something truly unique.

“It’s fantastic to be a part of such a wonderful celebration in the industry for the second year running and we’re looking forward to presenting the awards at both ceremonies - we can’t wait to see who wins!”Having won multiple awards for its sustainable actions, and having held a Royal Warrant since 1929, Hypnos supplies ethically made and sustainable beds and mattresses to some of the finest homes, palaces and hotels around the world. Having been awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade, as well as the National Bed Federation’s ‘Bed Manufacturer of the Year’ for the third time, hotel owners know that they are buying into a quality product if they choose Hypnos.
