HOSPITALITY

WELCOME Welcome to the Australian Hotels Association (WA) 2021 AHA - Aon Hospitality Awards for Excellence, presented at the Little Creatures Gala Ball.

Those attending tonight’s event represent the very best of WA’s hospitality industry.

Despite facing enormous challenges over the past year, WA’s hospitality venues have continued to excel, delivering extraordinary service, outstanding hospitality and exceptional food and beverage offerings.

Tonight’s celebration is the largest gathering of hotel and hospitality professionals anywhere in Australia for 2021 – a feat we have now achieved two years in a row. WA’s ability to host large, unrestricted events is due in large part to the sacrifices made by hospitality venues and the staff who drive their success.

We extend our thanks to our sponsors for their commitment and support and in particular, tonight’s major sponsors Aon and Lion.

Congratulations to tonight’s finalists and winners, welcome to the 2021 AHA & Aon Hospitality Awards for Excellence.
