Continuing the legacy of The Brit List Awards, the 2025 edition took guests on a walk on the wild side. Returning for a second year to London’s legendary Ministry of Sound on 5th November, the sold-out event once again brought together more than 600 of the most creative and influential figures in hospitality design for a night that roared with energy, colour, and style.
Hosted by Hotel Designs Editor Sophie Harper and Publisher Katy Phillips (also the stars of this year’s teaser video), the inspired celebration – complete with feathers, fur, and animal print galore, available to all guests thanks to our incredible body-paint artist – transformed the iconic venue into a playground of dynamic design.
From zebra-striped dancers greeting guests and performing on the bar, to a burlesque show that shimmered in leopard print, bongo players keeping the beat wild and free, and a live singer freestyling with the DJ, the 2025 Brit List Awards was a night that refused to be tamed.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
