On February 10, live on facebook and instagram, the winners of Barawards were announced. Baraward is the prize for excellence in hospitality made in Italy, organized by Bargiornale in collaboration with Dolcegiornale, Hotel Domani and Restaurants.
It was an edition characterized by a record number of applications (over 800 between clubs, hotels and professionals), testifying to the tenacity, courage and resilience of the business owners who, in the most difficult year of their history, they have been able to reinvent themselves, restructure, innovate, find new ways to limit damage and prepare to welcome customers back – their most precious assets – as soon as possible.
For the first time, Barawards has reserved five awards for the hotel industry: Hotel Revelation, Hotel Manager, Hotel, Restaurant and Hotel Bar of the year. Here is the top ten of the best Italian hotel managers.
