The final stage of the Russian Hospitality Awards 2017 has begun, including an audit and summing up of the participants' scores.
Over the course of two weeks, the jury members studied and evaluated hotel presentations from 23 nominations, projects from three development companies, and the work of twenty-one general manager
To avoid errors, the scores awarded by the experts are certified with signatures and submitted to the auditor, Deloitte CIS, the Award's independent partner. The experts verify the accuracy of the scores of all fifteen jury members, contacting each one personally. This ensures a high level of confidence in the results for the fourth year running.
After the audit, the auditor will combine the expert ratings with the scores from booking.com and trustyou.com for each property. Ultimately, five leaders will be identified in each category.
The finalists will be announced on December 18th. They will each receive an invitation to the IV Awards Ceremony, which will take place on February 19th, 2018, at the Lotte Hotel in Moscow. In addition to the finalist hotels' GMs, company executives and media representatives are invited to the hospitality ball. The dress code is traditionally black tie.
Project partners will present their services and solutions to senior hotel industry executives, while hoteliers will connect with colleagues and learn about trends in Russian and global tourism. Participants include individual hotels and properties representing hotel chains such as IHG, Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group, Hilton Hotels, Marriott International, Accor Group, and others.
