Suppliers enter themselves for the categories (except Contribution to Luxury) and are then rated by our hand-picked community of luxury travel agents. This year, the community of agents who rate will be refreshed and will include entrants in the Luxury category of TTG’s Top 50, all past TTG Luxury Travel Awards agent finalists and Luxpo attendees, so you know the very best and experienced agents are rating the companies they feel really stand out.
For the Best New Luxury Hotel of the Year category, contenders enter themselves and are then rated and selected by a panel of renowned travel and lifestyle journalists and editors, who use their wealth of experience to narrow down the finalists.
Contribution to Luxury is a coveted award given to a person deemed to have made a very significant impact in our sector, with the individual picked from a wide range of business types globally. The decision is made by the editorial team at TTG Luxury and past recipients include Matthew Upchurch, chief executive of Virtuoso (2019) and Justin Wateridge, managing director of Steppes (2018).

Centrally located in the heart of London on High Holborn, The Rosewood Hotel is moments from Covent Garden, in one of the capital’s most historic yet dynamic locales and just a stone’s throw away from vibrant Lamb’s Conduit Street, the Royal Opera House, the British Museum and West End Theatres.
Combining English heritage with contemporary sophistication, the hotel has the feel of a stylish London residence with 262 guestrooms and 44 suites including the Grand Manor House Wing, an exclusive six-bedroom suite with its own postcode.
Accommodation is designed by Tony Chi and Associates, who also created the interior of the public areas, 12 event spaces and the Mirror Room, while award-winning designer Martin Brudnizki designed Scarfes Bar.
