Our Awards Process

Establishing the Framework

Before nominations begin, The Luxury Report establishes a clear and rigorous framework to ensure credibility, fairness, and relevance.

This includes defining:

• Award categories (e.g., Best Hotels, Brands, Products, Services, Experiences)
• Eligibility criteria (time period, geography, sector, and market focus)
• Evaluation standards (impact, quality, innovation, originality, performance, influence, and ethical standards)

This framework is developed collaboratively by our senior editors, industry partners, and journalists, ensuring alignment with our platform’s mission and the expectations of our global audience.

We also actively welcome input from our readers. It is common for individuals who engage with our content to share recommendations and personal experiences, which help inform our research and broaden our industry insight.

Research & Selection

Once relevant information has been gathered and extensive research has been conducted, candidates are carefully shortlisted.

Final selections are made by our judging panel, comprised of senior management and members of the editorial team.

Our award programmes are designed to deliver a comprehensive and independent assessment of the very best travel, leisure, and luxury products and services from around the world.

Our Philosophy

The Luxury Report recognises organisations and individuals that truly stand out — those redefining excellence and elevating standards within their sector.

We do not favour larger or more dominant organisations. Equal consideration is given to boutique brands, independent operators, and start-ups. Companies are assessed purely on merit and what distinguishes them within their respective markets, regardless of size or scale.

Reader Engagement & Feedback

We actively encourage our readers to tell us which sectors, businesses, or experiences they believe deserve attention. Audience insights are invaluable, and we continually look for ways to incorporate this information into our research and sector analysis.
