Description
Radical Innovation welcomes big ideas for the guest experience—from inside and outside of hospitality, from any country, and from professionals and students alike.
Each year, we put out a call for entries. Our criteria? Show us what the hotel environment can be. Wow us with creativity and feasibility. Finalists are selected by a jury and flown to New York City to compete on the Radical Innovation stage. There, finalists present to an audience of hotel developers, owners, executives and designers who vote for the grand prize winner.
- Enter original, built or unbuilt concepts that offer the market something that is not widely available.
- Concepts must include guestrooms and lobby/public areas.
- Food/ beverage facilities (and other amenities) are optional but recommended.
- Multiple entries by a single entrant (or company) are permitted.
