Before We Start
The DearGuest Hospitality Awards mark the sixth official awards ceremony presented by
DearGuest Co., continuing the company’s long-standing tradition of celebrating excellence across
creative and professional industries. Founded in 1999, DearGuest launched its events division in
2002 with the pioneering DearGuest Awards the first red-carpet ceremony of its kind dedicated to
honoring the year’s most outstanding achievements. Six years later, the company introduced the
Middle East Music Awards, recognizing excellence and innovation within the regional music
industry. Building on this success, DearGuest expanded its portfolio in 2015 with the launch of the
Arabian Cinema Awards, inspired by the Academy Awards and designed to celebrate
outstanding achievements in Arab cinema.
In 2020, DearGuest further strengthened its position with the successful launch of the Egyptian
Football Awards, which quickly earned a reputation equal to that of the company’s earlier
ceremonies. Most recently, in May 2025, the DearGuest Fashion Awards were introduced, marking
a new chapter in the brand’s evolution. Today, DearGuest proudly unveils the newest addition to
this prestigious legacy: the DearGuest Hospitality Awards an initiative dedicated to recognizing
excellence, innovation, and leadership within the hospitality industry.
