CELEBRATING

ACCOMMODATION

International Week of the Host recognises outstanding hosts and properties across the globe.
The highly acclaimed event has been a long-standing success, with its prestigious award ceremony,
the eviivo Awards, deemed “the Oscars of independent accommodation.”

eviivo Awards 2022 Categories

Unsung Hero Award

The Unsung Hero Award will reward the employee, nominated by owners, whom they rely on for their businesses to be successful – individuals who keep the business going, the glue that holds everyone together, and the virtual pillars of the property who deserve to have their time in the limelight.

Hottest Property Award

Unique? Over-the-top luxury? Cool design? The Hottest Property Award recognises properties that simply have that “wow” factor. Whether they are forward thinking in design, or have super cool features, the hottest properties are those that go viral on social media. Show us your property is the hottest place of the year, and how you transformed it into a visual phenomena.

Outstanding Host Award

The Outstanding Host Award is designed to recognise the owners, managers and hosts who not only go the extra mile but constantly exceed expectations for their guests and can demonstrate the building of a service culture throughout the whole operation of the accommodation.

Both International Week of the Host and the eviivo Awards have a single purpose: to raise the profile of the independent accommodation sector and highlight and support exceptional property owners, small hoteliers and hosts like you.

International Week of the Host is about the people behind the properties; the faces behind the places. Whether they’re new entrants bringing fresh ideas to the sector, or veterans with years of experience, looking after guests is what hosts do best. We want as many people as possible to enjoy the warm welcome, professional service and local knowledge hosts offer — and to experience for themselves the benefits of staying independent.
