Service Excellence Awards recognize individuals who provide outstanding hospitality, service, and visitor experiences across our community. Hometown Hosts are local honorees who have generated significant hotel room nights for Lexington through personal or professional organizations.
The annual program and luncheon, held each year in May, bring the community together to celebrate the dedication of the individuals who help make Lexington a welcoming and successful destination.
