On 16 May 2025 the Golden Sun Award was presented, with which the award’s founder, Day Holiday Kft., recognised the work of the best Hungarian conference and wellness hotels and event venues, with the support of the Hungarian Hotel & Restaurant Association as professional partner. The award ceremony was hosted by the Haris Park Ballroom. This year’s occasion was all the more special because the official history of Day Holiday Kft. began almost exactly 30 years ago to the day.
For 20 years now, the award has been a symbol: a handshake between hotel professionals and players in the events market. Each year, by presenting the award, the work of those hotels and event venues whose reliable, high-quality services have supported the delivery of successful events is recognised and thanked.
The event management company assessed the best hotels according to professional criteria, based on the opinions of its clients, guests and colleagues.

The award winners and guests were welcomed by managing director Czvitkó Zoltán and by Somlyai Zoltán, on behalf of the Hungarian Hotel & Restaurant Association. The award-winning hotels had the opportunity to present themselves to a professional audience.
Guests were greeted on arrival by host Borbély Ferenc, and the evening’s entertainment was provided by Kiskovács Attila and Harsányi Bence, founders of the Momentán Company, together with the singers of the Vegas Show Band and the Fever Dance Group.
Founded in 1995 as the first Hungarian-owned company dedicated to organising corporate events, conferences and training sessions, Day Holiday Kft. – with tens of thousands of events and more than half a million guests behind it – has been hosting the Golden Sun Gala since 2005.
