The Douglas Hotel has been named independent hotel of the year at the inaugural Prestige Hotel Awards.
The gala final saw nearly 500 guests from the breadth of the Scottish hotel industry come together to celebrate their fellow hospitality professionals at the Hilton in Glasgow last Sunday.
From Glasgow and Edinburgh, over the sea to Arran and as far as Aberdeen, the Prestige Hotel Awards independent judging panel toured the country to perform extensive and anonymous reviews of 80 hotels. Rooms were booked, cocktails sampled, service scrutinised and restaurant offerings put to the test.
