Wedding Hotelist Awards 2026

Wedding Hotelist Awards 2026: winner and finalists in each destination and theme list by our published public-data method, with a one-winner-per-brand rule. Formula-only, never paid. Announced 2026-12-31.

Spots below are provisional, from public data as of 2026-10-27. They freeze on 2026-12-15 and are announced and given on 2026-12-31. One winner (and finalist) per brand line in each award category: Excellence, Secrets, Dreams, Hyatt Ziva and other brand lines are separate (parent groups are not used); each independent resort counts as its own brand. Once a brand has a spot, the next-ranked resort from a different brand moves up. Because of that rule, an award position can differ from the on-page "#N in [Category] · ranked by public data" rank, which stays the pure method order. Sponsored or featured placements can never win or change ranks. Method locked 2026-10-27.
