On December 27, 2024, the hospitality industry gathered for an unforgettable evening at The Inaugural Hospitality Ball 2024, hosted by HAPA (Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards). This landmark event marked a series of significant milestones, including HAPA’s 30th Anniversary and the grand launch of SOL @ The Met.

HAPA: 30 Years of Legacy and Excellence

For the past 30 years, HAPA has been the gold standard in Asia’s hospitality industry, often known as "Oscars of Hospitality". Renowned for its Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards, HAPA Guide, and HAPA Hotel Accreditation, the organization has consistently celebrated excellence and innovation. Its unwavering commitment to quality has positioned HAPA as a trusted leader, recognizing outstanding establishments and inspiring continuous growth in the sector.

Grand Launch of SOL @ The Met

The ball also served as the perfect stage for the grand unveiling of SOL @ The Met, Kuala Lumpur’s newest rooftop bar and restaurant. Blending Latin energy with stunning views of the city’s skyline, SOL offers an unparalleled dining and social experience. Its vibrant ambiance and innovative culinary offerings are set to redefine the capital’s dining scene, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and visitors.
