The 2026 Haute Grandeur Global Awards season is almost here, with ratings set to take place between 9 March and 6 April 2026.
As many of you know, Haute Grandeur is distinguished by its commitment to recognising excellence through a rating system based on genuine guest experiences rather than votes counted by popularity. The ratings page will be active during this window, and anyone who has had first-hand experience of Royal Madikwe is eligible to submit a rating.
Last year, we were deeply honoured to receive recognition across multiple categories: a testament to the unforgettable moments shared between our team and our guests. If you have stayed with us and feel inspired to share your experience, we would be truly grateful for your support when the rating poll opens on 9 March.
