Hotel & Lodge Awards 2026: an evening dedicated to the new codes of hospitality

A ceremony at the heart of contemporary hospitality

The 8th edition of the Hôtel & Lodge Awards took place on May 21, 2026, at La Fondation in Paris. This edition celebrated several key dimensions of contemporary hospitality: Architecture, Well-being, Boutique Hotel, Chef, Design, Lodge, Prestige, Resort and Hotel Villa.

At La Fondation, the evening naturally found its place. A setting where hotel, restaurants, rooftop, workspaces, sports club, spa, art and city life exist in constant dialogue. A Residence of Free Spirits, designed to welcome travelers, locals, creatives, professionals and lovers of Paris.

Celebrating the art of hospitality

Beyond the awards themselves, the Hôtel & Lodge Awards embody a certain vision of hospitality. One that goes beyond the room, the table or the service to create a complete experience. One that turns a hotel into a refuge, a restaurant into a place of conversation, a spa into a suspended moment, and design into an emotion.

The 2026 edition shone a light on the places and personalities shaping hospitality today: attention to detail, creativity, well-being, sustainability, architectural character and the pleasure of hosting. These themes resonate naturally with La Fondation, whose DNA is rooted in plurality, eclecticism, the pleasure of welcoming and a sense of timelessness.

An evening of encounters and recognition

Throughout La Fondation, the ceremony brought together many of those shaping the future of hospitality: iconic houses, independent addresses, designers, chefs, hoteliers, partners, jury members and guests.

La Fondation warmly thanks the Hôtel & Lodge teams, jury members, partners and guests for their trust. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists of this 8th edition.

Some evenings do more than award prizes. They sketch a sensitive map of hospitality to come: one defined by attention to detail, genuine care, places with soul and homes that leave a lasting impression and make you want to return.
