FAQs.
What is the deadline for hotel submissions ?
Deadlines for submissions are announced annually on our official website.
We encourage hotels to submit as early as possible to benefit from lower fees and to allow sufficient time for processing.
Submissions will not be accepted after the final late-entry deadline.
Is there a submission fee ?
Yes. The Stay Awards applies a tiered entry fee structure to support the review, evaluation, and processing of submissions.
Fees vary by submission period: Early, Regular, and Late Submission — with the lowest fee available during the Early Submission window.
All fees are non-refundable and payable via the official online submission platform.
Late entries are accepted only if announced and within the specified late-entry window.
For the full fee schedule and category options, please contact our team via the Contact page.
Can I submit more than one hotel or property ?
Yes. Hotels and hospitality groups may submit multiple properties, provided that each property meets the eligibility criteria and is submitted as a separate entry with its own fee.
What types of hotels are eligible for submission ?
The Stay Awards accepts a wide range of hospitality properties, including city hotels, resorts, and boutique stays.
All entries must comply with the eligibility criteria outlined in the official Rules & Regulations, including operational status, guest-facing facilities relevant to the submitted categories, and required submission materials.
When will I be notified if my hotel is selected ?
All applicants will be notified via email 2–4 weeks before the official announcement of the nominees.
Only officially selected hotels will receive further instructions regarding participation and next steps.
