Gala Dinner

This October sees the National Hotels of the Year® Scotland Awards Night held for the first time outwith Glasgow or Edinburgh as we host the 23rd annual celebrations in a gorgeously-sited, first-class ballroom set in gardens overlooking the silvery Tay. It's all happening on the edge of Dundee at the reigning Banqueting Hotel of the Year, the independently-owned Invercarse Hotel.

At the event we will present the principal Hotel, Individual & Industry Awards, Honours & Distinctions in magnificent company... yours!

There will be a specially-created Tayside Arrival Drink followed by a full 4-Course Dinner with cheese and lovely little extras - all set up in a glamorously decorated ballroom with staging by experts. Expect great entertainment, happy times with fine fellow hoteliers from across the land, and an atmosphere like no other Scottish hotel awards.

This year marks the start of our move to three Seasonal Presentation Phases and this will be clear on the night in the smoother and more efficient presentation sequences. We hope you'll enjoy it!

The transition to a Spring, Summer & Season Finale awards events structure is a permanent change.

We will hold the three Seasonal Awards Phases & Events across the country in future years - these awards are, after all, national... and we're thrilled to be able look at holding big celebrations in, for example, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, Fife, Perthshire or southern Scotland in future.


We look forward
to welcoming you!
