IHM | Serviced Apartment Awards 2026

500 guests

Full technical production for the Serviced Apartment Awards 2026 at Hilton Bankside London, including staging, LED wall, lighting, audio and event delivery for 500 guests.

Introduction

Step 1

Brief

In May 2026, Lexa delivered full technical production for the Serviced Apartment Awards, hosted by International Hospitality Media at Hilton Bankside London. Bringing together around 500 guests from across the serviced apartment and hospitality sectors, the evening celebrated excellence, innovation and achievement across the industry through a night of networking, dining and awards presentations.

The client needed a complete production solution capable of turning the event space into a genuinely polished awards environment, one that would hold up in front of a high-profile industry audience.

That meant a professional stage design, large-format visual display for award content, considered lighting and audio clear enough to carry presenters, winners and guests without a single dropped word.

The production needed to deliver real visual impact alongside operational reliability, so that every award, every speech and every piece of content landed exactly on cue throughout the evening.

The Result

The Result

The Serviced Apartment Awards 2026 brought together leading hospitality professionals for an evening that genuinely celebrated excellence across the sector.

Integrated staging, LED video, lighting and audio production gave the evening a polished, engaging guest experience, and a strong visual platform for sponsors, nominees and award winners alike.

With every part of the technical delivery managed by one team, the client was free to focus entirely on guests, presenters and the programme itself, confident nothing behind the scenes would need their attention.

The result was an awards ceremony that reflected the prestige of both the event and the organisations being recognised, and one that ran exactly as it was meant to.
