TWO Glasgow hotels have been recognised at the regional finals of the Scottish Hotel Awards.
Blythswood Square Hotel won 5 Star Business Hotel and 5 Star City Hotel for the west coast, while the Grand Central Hotel scooped Breakfast Hotel of the Year.
A number of their staff were also awarded with People of Excellence awards including Blythswood Square Pastry Chef of the Year Lauren Mcavoy. The Grand Central team also won two individual awards – Housekeeper of the Year, Lynne Doyle and Wendy Johnston for Event Individual of the Year.
Murray Thomson of Blythswood Square Hotel, said: “Winning three titles at the Scottish Hotel Awards is a real honour for the entire team at Blythswood Square. The hospitality sector in Glasgow is so vibrant so it is a great time to be working in the industry. We couldn’t be prouder of our superb pastry chef Lauren.”
Blythswood Square is one of the city’s most exclusive five-star spa 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
