The winners of the 2015 HM Awards for Accommodation Excellence have been named in front of a record 600 attendees at Sydney Town Hall.

Hosted by television personality Lisa Wilkinson, the HM Awards have, for the 13th time, recognised the accommodation industry's finest staff, properties, brands and chains across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
