The 9th annual Scottish Hotel Awards will be presented at the 2012 Awards Night Party to be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Thistle Glasgow – one of Scotland’s largest venues – on Sunday May 20th. Last year’s 2011 event was acclaimed as the best yet. The super glam 2012 occasion will be a happy, exciting and emotional night … it is established now as the big annual occasion for Scottish hoteliers and those in the hospitality industry. And the theme this year? Putting On The Ritz! So it’s on with the silver and the black and gold, we'll set up Art Deco staging... come and sparkle and shine! Tickets on sale here now.

Scotland’s hotels of the year awards began in 2003 with the first Awards Night held in April 2004 in the capital. Independently and thoroughly researched honours for a huge, vital and diverse industry, the “Scottish hotel Oscars” (The Herald) have since been celebrated in top venues raising several thousand £ for HIT Scotland. Presenters have included the First Minister, Presiding Officers of Parliament, Ambassadors, Ministers, industry leaders and TV celebrities. This year Miss Scotland will be among the celebs.

The whole point of these extremely detailed awards is – at every hotel our team works with – to encourage and recognise the highest standards, individually and corporately, and then to celebrate excellence and achievement at an event less formal, more intimate and friendly. “I wish The Scottish Hotel Awards every success and congratulate all winners”, said the First Minister in March 2011. Thank you to everyone who has embraced the awards.

This regularly-updated official awards website has been online without break since 2003, receiving 1000s of nominations and comments plus tens of thousands of votes for hotels and hotel people. Led by the same team since the start and today a sister event of the World Whiskies Awards from Whisky magazine, look out in 2012 for our new annual high-volume, widely-distributed Little Gold Book of Winning Scottish Hotels published by Scotland magazine.

Year round we receive reports and feedback. Nominations are open until May. Keep in touch!
