The Scottish Hotel Awards 2012

Results in Order of Presentation

These unique awards are comprehensive because we have a unique approach: we look at each hotel individually, so that we can encourage and reward excellence; then we look nationally and comparatively to produce an overall picture that both honours and inspires at the individual or hotel level and also provides a highly specific guide to the consumer.
