Stelliers Asia 2026 Applications Open January 5th!
Applications for Stelliers Asia 2026, presented by NORDAQ, will officially open on Monday, January 5, 2026 – and with that comes an opportunity to recognise the people who power hospitality across the region.
Stelliers is the only accolade in Asia dedicated exclusively to hotel professionals. It exists to celebrate those who consistently go above and beyond in their roles – often quietly, often without recognition – and to ensure that people at every level of hospitality are seen, valued, and celebrated.
What is Stelliers?
Stelliers honours outstanding hoteliers across a wide range of roles, from front-of-house and back-of-house hoteliers through to senior leadership. Unlike many industry awards, Stelliers focuses on individual contribution, not brand or property size.
At its heart, Stelliers is driven by a clear Just Cause:
To elevate every hotel professional – so they feel seen, valued, and inspired to lead.
