The Australian Hotels Association (WA) is proud to announce the winners of the 2024 AHA & Coca-Cola Hospitality Awards for Excellence.
The awards honour the state’s top hotels, bars, pubs, taverns and restaurants, along with the dedicated staff who drive their success. They were presented at the Lion Gala Ball at Crown Perth tonight in front of 1,100 guests, including The Hon Roger Cook MLA, Premier of Western Australia.
AHA(WA) CEO Bradley Woods said the annual awards shine a spotlight on businesses and individuals who set the benchmark for quality, service and the pursuit of excellence.
“The winners represent the pinnacle of our state’s vibrant hospitality scene and were narrowed down from a remarkable 530 nominations across more than 40 award categories,” said Mr Woods.
“Recipients include small bars, casual pubs, boutique breweries, elevated dining restaurants – and everything in between – as well as hard-working staff who create memorable experiences that keep guests returning again and again.
“By honouring the achievements of venues and employees, the awards aim to inspire the entire sector, encouraging a commitment to exceptional hospitality that drives tourism, strengthens our economy and positions our state as a must-visit destination.”
