Each year, Vision Support Services hold an annual online awards through its performance brand website, Hilden, to recognise the interior design achievements of small to medium venues in the hospitality and healthcare markets.
With small and independent hotels, restaurants and care homes at the forefront, the 2016 proved to be the most successful yet with more entrants than ever sending in their pictures in a bid to win the coveted winners title.
Taking into account the residence as a whole package, the Style Awards from Hilden, one of Vision’s leading product brands, burst back into action for 2016 with new judges, awards and a fresh category to recognise the excellence of design in care homes.
The esteemed panel of experts consisted of:
Jeremy Tring – Editor of Eat.Drink.Sleep magazine
Lucy Forsyth – Interior Design Specialist for Vision’s Healthcare division
Ellie Tennant – Freelance Interior Design Journalist
Gemma Ralph – Deputy Editor of Hospitality Interiors magazine
Lee Birchall – Architect and Interior Designer for Bar & Restaurant
Victoria Hargreaves – Sales Manager for Vision’s Independent Hospitality division
With an astounding number of entries, and the calibre higher than ever before, the judges have been whittling it down to only three finalists from each category.
Announcing their decision earlier today, Vision is delighted to officially announce those in the running of being crowned most stylish as the Hilden Style Awards finalists are unveiled:

Most Stylish Hotel or B&B
Hotel Gotham
Based in the heart of mid-town Manchester, the judges agreed that the attention to detail in Hotel Gotham was meticulous and the striking theatrical colour schemes were effectively executed.

A romantic country house in Northumberland, the judges said the luxurious textures combined with the clever use of theming brought an extra dimension to Newton Hall.
