The stars of the Indian hotel industry will be honoured and feted at the biggest industry event of the year – the inaugural Hotelier India Awards, on the 16th December.
Nothing marks out the Indian hospitality industry like its people. You are the engines of your trade, the wheels that spin dreams into real-time experiences.
With all the time and effort you put into making your guests happy, it is only fitting that Hotelier India, as the voice of India’s hospitality industry, reward those individuals who have excelled in their respective fields over the past two years.

Hotelier India therefore, is proud to announce its inaugural Hotelier India Awards, presented by Grohe, and in association with Hafele India, and Philips as ‘Leading by Innovation’ partner.
In the run up to the biggest event of the year - the Hotelier India Awards - we’ve highlighted some outstanding nominees hoping to make it to the winner’s rostrum on December 16th.
Ravitej Nath
executive chef
Trident Gurgaon
Chef Nath’s key innovation is to take the hotel’s standard of personalised service to a new high, by creating a customised room amenities programme for in-house guests. Being a hotel that hosts nearly 60% of global board meetings in India, he found it imperative to serve an exceptional and exclusive menu in the rooms.
His aim was to create something simple, yet luxurious and exclusive, with a very high recall value. Nath’s key delivery area is to put a dedicated information collection, delivery, and service mapping system in place.
Since every visit of a Fortune 500 CEO is known well in advance, the kitchen team uses the opportunity to do its research and arrive at an image that best describes the CEO’s company.
Rajah J Swamidoss
Training Manager
InterContinental The Lalit Goa Resort
Rajah J Swamidoss chose to go beyond token gestures done on World Environment Day, by instituting a year-long eco awareness and action programme - the Eco Club.
A voluntary staff organisation, the club has members from all hotel departments. The aim is to execute a minimum of four projects a year, or one every quarter. This ranges from the area cleaning and sapling planting to creating and managing organic farms.
Swamidoss’ Eco Club recently made the bold move with an education programme for the local village school children on environmental issues.
