Marking a decade of celebrating the best in hospitality and design, on 5th November, the iconic Ministry of Sound in London played host to the 10th anniversary of The Brit List Awards<\/a>, which brought the 2026 campaign to a close with a masquerade party.<\/p>\n

Since 2016, the awards have championed the best in British \u2013 and international \u2013 hotel design and hospitality. Guests traded their usual attire for masks, glamour and a little mystery, and the venue\u2019s legendary halls were transformed for the occasion. Hotel Designs\u2019 Publisher Katy Phillips and Editor Sophie Harper presided over the evening, unveiling the winners to a room full of the industry\u2019s finest.<\/p>\n

Over 250 finalists were shortlisted across 15 categories this year, with the individual and group winners invited to the stage to be crowned and receive their specially designed award trophy from EGGER. The Brit List 2026 book was also unveiled on the evening, a publication profiling the top 75 interior designers, architects and hoteliers in Britain \u2013 you can view The Brit List 2026 book online here.<\/p>\n
