## Article

The **Smart Travel News Roadshow** lands in **Las Palmas this Wednesday 30 September** with one of its widest shortlists to date for the Most Innovative Hotel award. **Nine Gran Canaria properties** have been picked as candidates, and the sponsorship comes from Liiffe, as reported by [Smart Travel News](https://www.smarttravel.news/nueve-hoteles-optan-al-premio-al-hotel-mas-innovador-de-las-palmas-patrocinado-por-liiffe/).

That number matters in a market like the Canaries, where hotel innovation usually gets measured in refurbishments rather than digital product. Nine hotels signing up to compete for a recognition like this says plenty about the appetite to stand out in a destination as mature as Gran Canaria.

For those of us following the industry from the inside, awards like this are valuable mostly for what they reveal about the pipeline: what hotels are testing, how they are rethinking the guest experience and which tools they are adopting. The ceremony on the 30th in [Las Palmas](https://www.smarttravel.news/nueve-hoteles-optan-al-premio-al-hotel-mas-innovador-de-las-palmas-patrocinado-por-liiffe/) should give a decent snapshot of where the island sector stands right now.
