The Asia Hotel Design Awards (AHDA) organised by Sleeper has extended its call for entries until 9 November 2015. Hotel projects completed between October 2014 and September 2015 in the Asia Pacific region are eligible.
The award stresses that while it seeks creative excellence and strong aesthetics, commercial viability is also an important consideration in its judging process. Esteemed judges will look for designs that fulfill the client’s brief effectively, as well as the needs of hotel guests. This includes sensible budget usage that contribute to the overall guest experience.
