Best Loved Awards 2017/18 Hotel Nominees and Regional Winners Are Announced
are pleased to announce the hotel nominees for the Best Loved Hotels Awards 2017/18 and the winners of each of this year’s Regional Awards.
Best Loved Hotel Awards are designed to celebrate and showcase excellence across Best Loved properties throughout Britain and Ireland. The awards are designed to highlight our very best Hotels across many categories including the ‘Extra Mile Award’ recognising seamless customer service, generosity of spirit, an Hotel team who are prepared to go above and beyond for its guests. ‘The Easy Being Green Award’ that appreciates hotels which have incorporated energy saving and environmental friendly practices into the everyday running of its hotel.
Other award categories include Family Friendly hotels, Best Places for Weddings, Best Wine Cellar, Pet Friendly and Best for Spa, amongst others.
Nominations for Best Loved Awards opened in June 2017 and Best Loved customers were invited to nominate hotels where they had stayed and experienced ‘best in class’ stays.
Winners will be announced at the award’s ceremony and dinner held at the fantastic new Cotswold Suite at Tewkesbury Park Hotel, Gloucestershire on Monday 13th November 2017. Each of the Regional Winners will be nominated for the Overall Hotel of the Year, the winner of which will also be announced on the night.
‘The overall customer experience is paramount during any hotel stay and we feel our awards celebrate the eclectic nature of our hotel portfolio. We are celebrating excellence in many different areas from a Hotel’s wine list to a customer’s experience when making a reservation. This is why we have asked our Best Loved customers to give us feedback regarding their personal experiences throughout the year staying at Best Loved properties and to nominate hotels accordingly.’
‘We have been overwhelmed by the response and have received over 1,200 votes and look forward to announcing and celebrating with the winning hotels in November’ Julian Ebbutt, Managing Director, Best Loved Hotels.
