Guoman's five star The Royal Horseguards has scooped the
prestigious accolade of London Hotel of the Year, receiving the
sought-after award at the renowned AA Hospitality Awards 2010 – 2011.
AA Hotel Services group area manager Giovanna Grossi said: "We selected The Royal
Horseguards Hotel as AA Hotel of the Year for London because this historic hotel has risen from the
ashes, successfully managing the transformation from a commercial four star hotel to
an impressive five star property. A stylish refurbishment programme, heavy
investment in staff training and development, a very low staff turnover and
consistently high all round standards make it worthy of recognition."
Attended by world-renowned chefs, prominent hoteliers, hospitality gurus and key
industry media, the AA Hospitality Awards recognise and reward the excellent
services provided by the UK's very best establishments and high achieving
individuals, and launch the 2011 AA guides to UK hotels and restaurants. Selection
is made based on overall excellence and the specific achievements throughout the
previous year.
Anna-Marie Dowling, General Manager of the elegant Whitehall property commented: "For The Royal Horseguards to be recognised by our industry peers in this way is
just fantastic and real testament to our dedicated team and their commitment in
creating our charming five star guest experience. We really were in excellent
company in the shortlist category and were both delighted, and proud to be awarded
the official title of London Hotel of the Year."
Heiko Figge, Managing Director Guoman & Thistle Hotels added: "The recognition of The Royal
Horseguards from the AA clarifies the hotel's strong position within the London
hotel arena; whereby some of the world's most prestigious, luxury hotels have a
presence. Guoman Hotels is a collection of
exceptionally-positioned London properties and The Royal Horseguards is our
five-star flagship - this award further marks out our position as a leading five
star hotel in the capital."
Overlooking the River Thames, The Royal Horseguards is perfectly positioned in the
historic heart of London, just yards from Westminster and Downing Street. Built in
1884 in the style of a French château, the grade I listed, luxurious 281 bedroom
hotel offers a choice of bedrooms and suites, many with magnificent views over The
Thames - making the property one of the most charming hotels in London.
