MUST WE JOIN TO TAKE PART?

We're here to encourage and motivate as helpfully as possible - pleased to be able to include performing hotels and great people on merit. How much your hotel becomes involved, or would enjoy using the scheme to boost the business or staff, is absolutely your choice... just let us know. You can take part free as a Basic Entry or as a Programme Member with the full package.

As a fully supporting Programme Member you receive all advantages we can offer. We appreciate active Members greatly as it is your valued contribution that enables the comprehensive and carefully designed scheme to operate.

★ Participation Guarantee
You are guaranteed full Research, Judging / Review visits(s) by arrangement and as required to support your category entries. You will definitely be included in this year's full awards program - all events.

★ Full People Participation
In addition to our direct Nomination & Finalist system, we invite you to propose Management / Owners / Staff for entry into the Scottish Hotel People Awards categories. We'll work with you to support your team - and complete all necessary research / interviews to select and finalise any suitable Nominees / Finalists.

★ Right to use 2027 © Awards Logo

★ Right to use applicable 2026 / 2027 © Finalist or Winner Logo
which we can customise for you

★ Gold Page* on the new Hotel Guide

★ Hotel Gold Welcome Plaque™
The exciting new Scottish Gold Welcome Plaque™ scheme gives Members a highly adaptable, strikingly descriptive validation logo - which could be nicely helpful now VisitScotland's QA star rating scheme has ended.

★ Upgraded Presentation
If you're a Winner at the awards, you receive a larger, beautifully-framed A3 Certificate. Some categories feature a trophy but Members can upgrade any category to a trophy at a cost-price fee in a pre-arranged system. And, as a Member, if you cannot make the event, we will present it formally with a banner backdrop, at your hotel if possible.

★ PR / Social Media / Photography
We will happily assist you with regard to your own press releases and you will enjoy boosted features in our social media pages and complimentary priority access to all event photography.

* Gold Pages on the new Hotel Guide are exclusively for Members and include: top ranking in search results with a bigger display; review / feature / gallery / details of awards; features such as direct booking, news, offers, preferred images, respected awards (AA, Thistle, etc.), newspaper / magazine links; and as you prefer, other booking site links, TA, etc. Your page can link from a 'LIVE logo' button designed to be added to your site. You have a unique URL.

 

Thank you to all Members for your support.
