The winners of the AHEAD Global 2020 awards will be announced in a livestream broadcast on Dezeen today. Watch here from midday London time.

The event is hosted by Sleeper Magazine's editor-at-large Guy Dittrich and will feature imagery of the AHEAD nominees, as well as content from the sponsors of the awards programme.

The AHEAD awards celebrate striking hospitality projects from across the world and is split into four different regions: Europe, Middle East and Africa (MEA), Asia and the Americas.

The AHEAD Global awards represent the finale of the programme of regional events in 2019 and 2020, in which the winners are pitted against each other to determine the best recently opened hotels worldwide.

During the stream, Dittrich will announce winners in eight new categories, selected from a total of 48 hotel projects.
