The 18th Annual HD Awards Project Winners and Finalists
Hospitality Design presents the jury-selected finalists and winners of its 2022 project awards
Words by: HD Staff
Over the course of two days, our eight judges carefully evaluated 817 entries via Zoom to select the finalists of the 18th annual HD Project Awards. The distinguished panel considered design innovation, function, sustainability, purpose, and overall impressiveness of each of the entries (which debuted between December 2020 and March 2022). This year’s projects portion spans 26 categories, including Visual Identity, Hybrid Spaces, Camps + Lodges, a comprehensive Guestrooms segment, and so much more. We also saw the return of the Special Judges’ Award—this time designated to an art installation.
Peruse the 2022 Project Awards winners and finalists in the gallery below. Winners were revealed during a ceremony in New York on June 7th. To learn more about the awards program, visit hospitalitydesignawards.com.
