Voting
Anyone can vote online during the designated voting period.
Judging
Entries are judged at random, without comparison to other entries in a category. Blind judging will be enforced. All entrants’ data are removed from entries to prevent bias/conflict of interest. Judges will score on a scale of 1-100, based on aspects such as luxurious experience, excellence, uniqueness, reputation, brand awareness, and personalization. What we pay attention to most are the flair, character and experience that make it unique.
Winning Levels
The judges’ evaluation score (50%) and public voting (50%) on the hotel will be submitted to the panel and will form the basis for their decision to confirm the winning status of each hotel. Entries with a score between 85 and 100 points are Regal MUSE winners, whereas entries with a score between 60 and 84 points are Royal MUSE winners.
Winners and the Gala Awards Ceremony
Winners are determined after the judging is concluded at the end of the voting period, and interim results are then released to the respective hotels. Participants will be invited to attend the Gala Awards Ceremony, where the official winners are announced, also revealing the category and level of the award achieved (Regal MUSE/Royal MUSE).
