THE Scottish Prestige Hotel Awards are back for a second year, and on the hunt for Scotland’s Top 100 Hotels.
More than 550 people attended last year’s awards Gala Final and this year, the public can highlight their favourites to the awards’ panel of expert judges.
Once that public vote closes, the top 100 venues will be longlisted and visited by the judges. Prizes will be awarded at the Gala Final in February next year to Scotland’s Best Golf Hotel, and Scotland’s Best Spa Hotel among others, with the top-scoring hotel crowned Hotel of the Year.
Warren Paul, CEO of Prestige Hotel Events said: “The new format for this year’s awards will ensure greater exposure for Scottish hotels.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
