It was a night to be remembered at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa in Sligo as hospitality teams from around the country joined their colleagues to celebrate the best and the brightest in the industry at the 2023 Irish Hotel Awards.
Shane Smith Managing Director of NI Media who run the Irish Hotel Awards said: “The Irish Hotel Awards is now recognised as a benchmark of quality for properties in Ireland. All our members have been rigorously inspected by a team of researchers who are dedicated to promoting and developing the industry. Our members have been assessed and judged at the highest standards and the quality out there is simply magnificent.
“We were delighted this year to introduce some new categories that reflect the landscape in the industry – City Hotel of the Year, Waterside Wedding Venue of the Year and 4 Star Lux Hotel of the Year. And for the Star Awards that recognise the fantastic people in the industry we added Duty Manager of the Year, Breakfast Manager of the Year and Revenue Manager of the Year.
A massive thank you to Chef Keith Christie and his team at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Sligo.”
