The Grand are Victorian State Winners with AHA (Vic)!

AHA (Vic) State Awards For Excellence

Victoria’s proud recipient of ‘Emerging Leader of The Year’ and ‘Outstanding Achievement in Training ’!

We’re thrilled to share that we took home two prestigious awards on Monday 19th of May at The AHA (Vic) State Awards for Excellence 2025!

Our talented and much-loved Trainee Duty Manager, Dylan Tudor, was honoured with the individual award for ‘Emerging Leader of the Year’ — a truly well-deserved recognition.

We also received the ‘Outstanding Achievement in Training’ award — a proud moment that reflects an incredible team effort.

Judging of the awards consisted of written submissions, interviews and mystery shoppers; with judges visiting all nominated AHA (Vic) venues across the state.

In addition to these wins, we were named Victorian state finalists in seven other categories, including ‘Overall Hotel of the Year – Metropolitan’ for the fifth consecutive year. The awards we reached finalist status for include:

  • Overall Hotel of The Year – Metropolitan 
  • Parma of The Year
  • Best Marketed Hotel
  • Best Function and Event Space
  • Best Outdoor Experience – Metropolitan 
  • Top 5 in People’s Choice Award
  • Heart of The Community
