Harrogate hotel best in the UK

HOTEL Du Vin of Harrogate was voted as the best hotel in the UK according to the Sunday Times Travel Magazine published this month. The hotel which overlooks Harrogate Stray beat competition form other top hotels around the country such as Hotel Tresantan, Cornwall, a luxurious five star hotel which is a favourite of many celebrities such as Elton John and Johnny Depp.
The general manager Nick Dawson is said to be ‘ecstatic and relieved’ after all the hard work that the staff put in to making the hotel the best it can possibly be. It is also another award to hang on their wall. Nick Dawson was happy with the hotel being awarded the best hotel in Harrogate but he feels ‘honoured’ to run such a high standard hotel that is now the best in the UK. He said “The hotel could not have achieved such an award without the dedication and support off all the staff here. They really are fantastic.”
Hotel Du Vin has always offered luxury and elegance. It was created in 1778 by an Act of Parliament, in a registered building that can never be knocked down. It houses forty-eight bedrooms featuring pristine beds of luxurious Egyptian cotton, monsoon showers with stylish furnishings and unique décor. Included are airy loft suites with private balconies overlooking the beauty of the Harrogate Stray. As well as these beautiful rooms the hotel offers spa treatments such as full body massages and sea weed wraps. Their staff are fully trained to offer the best service possible. In addition the hotel also has its very own restaurant that already has its own awards for the quality of their food.
A frequent visitor of the hotel, Maria Swan said “When visiting Hotel Du Vin it is clear to see just exactly why they have achieved such an award as everything is spot on which is what I expect from a hotel in such a lovely area. I want to be able to relax and rely on the hotel to deliver the best standards, which is certainly what this hotel does, and more.”
