Air Canada’s enRoute magazine, in partnership with Interior Designers of Canada (IDC), Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), and IIDEXCanada, invite Canadian architects and interior designers to submit new and/or extensively renovated hotel projects to the 2015 Air Canada enRoute Hotel Design Awards.

The third Air Canada enRoute Hotel Design Awards will be judged by an international panel of industry experts to award prizes in 12 categories, such as Best Overall Interior Design, Best Overall Hotel Architecture, Best Spa or Pool, and Best Restaurant or Bar. This year’s panel includes:

• British designer, restaurateur, retailer and writer, Sir Terence Conran

• American fashion and interior designer, Kelly Wearstler

• Canadian architect and professor, Gilles Saucier

• World-renowned architect and president of Rockwell Group, David Rockwell

• President of Design Exchange, Canada’s design museum, Shauna Levy

The jury will look for projects that take hotel design to the next level and enrich the travel experience. Designs will be judged on creativity, aesthetic impact, functionality, comfort, sustainable features and innovation. Projects completed between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2014 are eligible for entry. Winners will be announced in the December 2015 issue of Air Canada’s enRoute magazine and will be presented with their awards during an awards gala at the 2015 IIDEXCanada show.
