The AHA & Coca-Cola Hospitality Awards for Excellence, presented at the Hahn Gala Ball, recognise the venues and individuals who achieve great things in Western Australia’s vibrant hospitality industry.
The awards honour the state’s top hotels, bars, pubs, taverns and restaurants, along with the dedicated staff who drive their success.
With more than 40 award categories, there’s an award for every type of hospitality venue, from pubs and taverns to small bars and restaurants.
