THE 7TH ANNUAL HOTEL AWARDS FOR
SCOTLAND'S LEADING HOTELS, OWNERS & MANAGEMENT
The Scottish Hotel Awards 2010
Sunday April 25th 2010 will see the 7th annual ‘Scottish hotel Oscars’ presented in the magical setting of Edinburgh’s
Prestonfield House. As ever, the Awards Night event will be created to be an exciting and happy high-point of the year for Scotland’s hotel businesses, owners and senior management. Every year the hotels of the year party sells out and we treat it as an honour to have the responsibility of organising this important occasion for one of the country’s key industries. “The flagship Scottish hotel event” said the First Minister when he enthusiastically presented the top awards a couple of years ago. And this year we look forward to more VIP presence on the night.
Reserve your tickets here.
The Scottish Hotel Awards & Guide Scheme is a uniquely comprehensive national program, updated for 2010 with an
all-new hotel guide and revised categories, combining information from inspections, interviews, consumer feedback and nominations, industry intelligence and critic analysis. These awards recognise specific excellence – business and individual – across the array of skills that make up the unique business that is the Scottish hotel industry – such a vital industry for our nation, both town and country. Few areas of enterprise are so varied in their demands for excellence, hence the wide-ranging nature of these awards. From spas to chefs to managers to housekeeping via design, business excellence and passion… the talents required are many indeed.
To support a hotel or individual please use the
Nominate, vote & support form.

The Scottish Hotel Awards™ draw on a continuity of knowledge and procedure; this website has been online since 2003 gathering thousands of votes and informative comments. The awards are thorough, people-centred and high-profile. Judges draw on specific expert opinion outwith our team when required. Most importantly we work on nominations and consider finalists and winners not merely over one year but often over many. It is a privilege to encourage and reward rising talent and imagination, a life-long career or an impressive business turnaround, for example.
All this is done so that visitors to our country, and Scots or Scottish businesses using the services of our hospitality business, receive a quality of service that is encouraged, promoted and driven higher by supportive recognition.
We sincerely thank the
Crowne Plaza Glasgow for hosting the successful 2009 Awards Night in the highly challenging circumstances of the recession, and for their considerable support. We thank the Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament Alex Fergusson for presenting the top awards. On a wider note we would like to record our admiration for those involved in
Homecoming Scotland and
VisitScotland for their hard and successful work in promoting Scotland over the past year. In a competitive international marketplace Scotland has to be good and we at The Scottish Hotel Awards stand to highlight the best of Scotland’s hotels, hotel businesses and senior management.
The whole team looks forward to the 7th Awards Night celebrations and to the joy and affirmation we know that a well-deserved award can bring. Thank you for being part of this positive, uplifting and progressive process.
