Finalists have been revealed in 24 categories for the 2013 HM Awards presented by Sealy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Due to an overwhelming number of entries and the extra time being taken by the judging panels to select finalists, highly commended recipients and winners, the announcement of finalists this year will be staggered.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

24 categories have been announced today (July 26), with a further 17 to be revealed next Friday (Aug 2) and the remaining five to be announced at the HM Awards Gala Presentation Dinner in Sydney on Friday, September 6.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tickets are currently selling fast for the Australasian accommodation industry’s premier night of the year, one that will see almost 50 HM Awards handed out, recognising excellence over a range of categories, from people and departments to properties and chains.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Channel 7 television personality Larry Emdur will host the evening for the third time in 2013, one that’s expected to attract around 600 hotel industry professionals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the last ten years, almost 5000 people have attended the HM Awards and more than 400 awards have been awarded to hotels across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The HM Awards are presented by Sealy; hosted by HM magazine and hotelmanagement.com.au; co-hosted by AHS, Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School, Foxtel Business, Intrust Super and Nespresso; and sponsored by Dometic, HotelHome Australia, Prototype Furniture, Spice magazine, www.spicenews.com.au, Time Out Melbourne, Time Out Sydney and Travmedia.com.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The 2013 HM Awards gala presentation dinner is being held at Sydney Town Hall on Friday, September 6, 2013.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
