2026 Ordinary Awards Website

The Ordinary Awards celebrate and honor all of Virginia’s restaurants, lodging establishments and hotels, DMOs, attractions, and more. The Awards, presented by VRLTA, are open to both members and non-members of the Association.

The 2026 Ordinary Awards feature 26 individual and organizational awards across four primary categories. Each award will be given to an honoree who demonstrates exemplary passion for the hospitality and travel industry. All awards (except the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Legislator of the Year Award) are determined through a nomination process and judged by VRLTA members/industry professionals.

The true goal of these Awards is to honor those in our industry, be they individuals or companies, that are truly extraordinary.

The 2026 Ordinary Awards will take place at the Hilton Richmond Hotel & Spa Shortpump.
