The BoHos - the waiting is
nearly over


 
On Monday we will reveal the shortlisted properties in the inaugural BoHos Boutique Hotel Guest Experience Awards. We teamed up with leading guest feedback and online reputation management specialist GuestRevu and renowned hospitality management institution Glion Institute of Higher Education to launch the awards, which will be presented at a ceremony held on the first evening of the 2017 Boutique and Lifestyle Hotel Summit 2017 in London on May 22.

The BoHos will reward the boutique, lifestyle and hybrid hotels who provide the very best in guest experiences. The awards will be unique in that the winners will be decided, not by judges, but by the hotels' guests, using a combination of aggregated verified guest feedback from review sites and booking engines worldwide, and direct guest feedback via questionnaires. The excitement is building and we can't wait to see who the winners will be! To buy tickets for the awards and the Summit click here.

Another new initiative for this year's Summit will be the UK boutique hotel sector sentiment survey, which is open now for your input. With so much general uncertainty in the UK economy, we want to gauge the confidence or otherwise in our sector. The more of you that contribute, the more comprehensive the results will be, so please click here and fill out the short survey, and we hope to see as many of you at the Summit as possible.
