The winners were decided by voting by all registered HICSA delegates at the first ever HICSA Hotels of the Year Awards 2009. The awards have been instituted to acknowledge outstanding new hotel developments in the last one year in the South Asian region.

There were four finalists in the upscale/luxury segment and five finalists in the budget/mid market segment. An independent panel of six judges analysed all the nominees. Among criteria considered were guestroom layout and interior décor, general location of the property, variety of dining options, social responsibility, aesthetic appeal of the hotel, eco sensitive approach, public area facilities & in-room amenities, recognitions received, financial performance and others.
