Awards were given out for the UK’s most impressive hotels for a variety of categories and property types including Best Spa Hotel, Best Small Hotel, Best Sustainable Hotel and Best Resort Hotel. Awards were also given for hotel architecture, construction, interior design, marketing and website. Each winning company was announced as either a ‘Highly Commended’ or ‘5-Star’ winner and presented with special plaques during the awards ceremony. A highly experienced team of professionals who cover the whole range of hospitality disciplines judged entries prepared by the hotels and selected the winners.

The 5-Star winners were placed under further examination and just one from each category was named a regional UK winner.

At the close of the awards gala, just one International Nominee for each category received the ultimate accolade of being named the ‘World’s Best.’

We welcome the UK winners in joining this prestigious international club of exceptional hotels and resorts.”
