The Gainsborough Bath Spa is delighted and proud to  have won Hotel of the Year (England) at the 2017 AA Hospitality Awards.

Hotel of the Year

Hotel of the Year is the top accolade for hospitality services across the country.

The hotel’s superb restaurant, Dan Moon at the Gainsborough Restaurant, was also commended with three AA rosettes, confirming the restaurant’s place amongst the finest in England.

The AA Award

The event, hosted last night at the Grosvenor House, Park Lane,recognizes and celebrates excellence within the British travel industry, and was attended by world-renowned chefs, prominent hoteliers and restaurateurs, hospitality gurus, and media.

The award attests to the exceptionally high standards of The Gainsborough, namely its combination of incredible service, facilities and all-encompassing guest experience.

From the impressive 1,300-square meter Spa Village, which is the only hotel spa to have direct access to Bath’s historic thermal waters, to the stunning Spa Suites and interiors designed by award-winning Champalimaud Design from New York, The Gainsborough epitomises true British five-star hospitality.

Dan Moon

This year, as a result of Head Chef Dan Moon’s ever-growing profile, the hotel renamed its signature restaurant as Dan Moon At The Gainsborough Restaurant.

The AA has recognised the restaurant’s outstanding reputation and success by awarding three rosettes, an honour that distinguishes the consistent excellence of Dan Moon’s cuisine, along with the restaurant’s dedicated, intuitive service and superb wine list.

Dan’s ever-developing menus combine pioneering cooking techniques and theatrical presentation to provide an all-consuming dining experience.

A highly creative chef, Dan considers every plate to be a canvas upon which he paints a picture for the diner.

Every micro-blossom and dash of sauce has a ‘flavour purpose’ in addition to its visual effect; every element of every dish is painstakingly developed and tested to ensure a cohesive whole.

Of the win, YTL’s Vice President, Andrew Jordan, commented:

“I am hugely proud of the whole team at The Gainsborough as this award proves that their consistent hard work to make our hotel the absolute best of the best has paid off.

The Gainsborough has always held significance as YTL Hotels’ first property in the UK, and this award has come at a time when we are preparing for further expansion, so this recognition feels all the more relevant for the exciting projects ahead.”

A leading hospitality brand in the UK, the AA Hospitality Awards have been recommending quality hotels since their inception in 1905.

The Hotel of the Year Award was first awarded in 1992 and continues to commend outstanding examples of hospitality across all fields.
