Welcome

The Branded Residence Awards is the first of its kind, hosted by Boutique Hotel News, the leading global boutique, lifestyle and luxury hotel media brand, part of the international hospitality media portfolio.

Branded residences are seeing exponential growth worldwide and is fast emerging as a highly desirable asset class and lifestyle choice. These awards are the definitive benchmark for excellence.

To celebrate the launch of the Branded Residence Awards, eleven award categories are available to enter at no cost. Open to all real estate owners, developers, operators, brands and service providers working within the branded residence sector worldwide, the awards will shine a light on Innovation and best practice.

Awards will be presented at our annual Urban Living MEA event in Dubai, the only B2B conference in the MEA region covering the convergence of real estate and hospitality asset classes. The Middle East and Africa regions continue to actively broaden their tourism and hospitality accommodation offerings to address an increasingly diverse and more sophisticated traveller requirement.

This is your opportunity to mingle with the best in class and rub shoulders with senior executives from hospitality and real estate brands, developers, investors, architect and design firms, and more. It will be a night to remember and I look forward to celebrating with you.

"Thank you so much for another outstanding International Hospitality Media Limited event. Always going above and beyond to make sure your guests have the best time, meet wonderful new people and learn about current hot topics in our amazing sector. Here’s to you!”
