Scottish Tourism Minister Richard Lochhead MSP
on opening the last Awards Night:
"It's a real privilege to join so many hotel businesses from all parts of Scotland at the prestigious Hotels of the Year Scotland. You represent the best of Scotland, the best of excellence and experience. Well done to the organisers for such a huge event, first since the pandemic. And of course - congratulations to all winners!"

EXCITING NEW THINGS AHEAD

National Hotels of the Year® Scotland proudly present the Hotel Honours™ for success, achievement & distinction. And everything's underway for 2025: assessment & judging has continued all year so that elegant Finalist certificates can go out, by post, from November onwards.

In very positive news, the ➦Awards Night ~ Grand Gala Dinner 2025 will officially partner ➦ScotHot 2025 as the big dinner event on the night between the two days of the major expo at the SEC Glasgow on 26th-27th February.

And the Scottish Hotel People Awards™ 2025 debuts in May: hundreds of individuals are already participating. Plus we'll have hotel reviews, offers & more on BestHotels.scot - our very stylish upcoming consumer guide.

This year our team marks 21 years assessing Scottish hotels for awards. #HOTYS are fully-researched and have all these years' commitment to hospitality to draw upon. We'll support hotels, exclusive venues and standout B&Bs every way we can. These national honours are founded on observation over the years, informed by mystery visits, BestShot™ visits, interviews, expert advice, and guest feedback analysis. We've a deep appreciation of our industry's many remarkable, storied people and, by shining a light on the best, we can help show how we can all win.

People are at the very heart of these awards. For certain departments - such as housekeeping, administration, marketing, kitchen teams, management specialisms - we need hotels' own suggestions as talent is frequently behind the scenes. From 2025 all staff categories except Managers & Hotelier of the Year will be presented at the Scottish Hotel People Awards™ each May.

Thank you for bearing with the change of date. Awards Night will now be held at the end of February each year, to avoid clashing with other large events - including the Thistle Awards - and to partner biannually with ScotHot.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU SOON!
