AHEAD Asia’s panel of judges, chaired by Guy Heywood, Chief Operating Officer of Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas, is comprised of hoteliers, architects, interior designers and industry commentators.

AHEAD covers four regions: Asia, Americas, Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Europe. With GROHE as Global Foundation Sponsor, an annual awards scheme will take place in each region throughout 2019 and 2020. The awards will culminate in an AHEAD Global event set to take place in 2021 which will see the winners of the eight regional heats compete head-to-head to decide a worldwide winner in each category.
