Thank you for your interest in the Air Canada enRoute Hotel Design Awards. Entry is now closed, but please check back for more details on the next round after the winners are announced in enRoute's September 2013 issue.

WHAT?

The Air Canada enRoute Hotel Design Awards celebrates the best Canadian-designed hotels around the world. Judged by the international jurors Douglas Coupland, Matali Crasset, Maxwell, and Adam D. Tihany, the awards recognize the outstanding achievements by Canadian designers and architects working in the hospitality realm.

For over 50 years, Air Canada's enRoute magazine has been the country's leading travel authority, bringing the best in travel to one million global readers each month. The awards are our way of acknowledging the talent of our fellow Canadians who make our time away from home both unique and memorable.

HOW?

The competition is open to all Canadian designers and architects working here and abroad. (Canadians working at foreign firms may submit entries as long as they are credited as the lead designer/architect.) The competition is open to new hotels and resorts – as well as properties that have undergone extensive renovations – that were completed between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2012. The hotel or resort may be located anywhere in the world.

Entries may be submitted in any or all of the following 12 categories:

149 rooms or less:

Best Standard Room;
Best Suite;
Best Lobby;
Best Spa or Pool;
Best Restaurant or Bar

150 rooms or more:

Best Standard Room;
Best Suite;
Best Lobby;
Best Spa or Pool;
Best Restaurant or Bar

All hotels:

Best Overall Interior Design;
Best Overall Hotel Architecture

Entry to the awards is free. Judging will be based on the design's creativity, aesthetic impact, functionality, comfort, sustainable features and innovation. We are looking for projects that take hotel design to the next level, thereby enriching the travel experience. Decisions of the jury are final.

WHEN?

Winners will be notified personally and winning entries will be featured in the September 2013 issue of Air Canada's enRoute magazine and at enroute.aircanada.com. Winners will also be honoured at an awards ceremony at IIDEX Canada, presented in partnership with Interior Designers of Canada and Architecture Canada RAIC|IRAC.
