Award for the Best Gastronomic Hotel in Spain
This award will recognise the establishment that has made gastronomy a strategic pillar of its value proposition, not as a complement, but as a central axis that amplifies the guest experience and connects them with the region. It also aims to highlight how cuisine can be a driver of attraction, loyalty and reputation, demonstrating that gastronomy is now one of the most important competitive differentiators in the hotel sector.

Award for Best Hotel F&B Director
This award will recognise the manager who has demonstrated excellence, innovation and leadership in food and beverage management, claiming a strategic role that transcends operations to become decisive in the guest's overall perception and in creating value for the business.

Award for Best Lobby in Spain

This final award aims to recognise a space that, beyond being a reception area, becomes a true stage for hospitality. It will recognise the lobby that has managed to establish itself as the heart of the hotel through a gastronomic offering and high-end cocktails integrated into the overall guest experience.

The awards are endorsed by AIDABE (Association of Food & Beverage Directors of Spain, Portugal and LATAM) and organised by Fira Barcelona, Gastronomic Forum Barcelona and Food Design Company, guaranteeing rigour and industry visibility. The awards ceremony will be hosted by representatives from AIDABE and the Food Design Company team, consolidating THELOBBY – HOTEL & GASTRO TALKS as a benchmark platform for excellence in hotel F&B.
