Billings doesn’t just welcome visitors — we make them feel at home. From the first smile at the front desk, to the spotless spaces guests notice (even if they don’t realize it), to the attractions and events that make a trip unforgettable—our hospitality community is the reason people leave Billings already planning their return.
That’s why we are excited to introduce Toast to Billings: Hospitality Awards—a new celebration designed to recognize the people and organizations who help make Billings visitor-ready every day.
And now, nominations are officially open.
We’re inviting the community—guests, coworkers, managers, industry partners, and locals—to nominate the individuals and organizations who are raising the bar for service and creating experiences visitors remember.
Important note: Self-nominations are not allowed for Heart of Hospitality Award and Pride in Place Award.
