Spa experiences among Gold Medal Awards finalists

The Gold Medal Awards, in association with Hotel & Catering Review magazine, have announced the finalists for the 2019 event.

These awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of the hotel and catering sector throughout the country over the past 12 months. They also recognise and reward the high standards of excellence in terms of both the physical product and the level of service that is being delivered in the industry.

Among the categories are Ireland’s Five-Star Hotel Spa Experience and Ireland’s Four-Star Hotel Spa Experience. Making the cut in the five-star section are Espa at The Europe Hotel & Resort in Co Kerry, Espa at The G Hotel in Galway and The Spa at Ashford Castle in Co Mayo. Spas in the four-star shortlist include those at the Radisson Blu in Sligo, the Maryborough Hotel & Spa in Cork, Kilronan Castle Estate & Spa in Co Roscommon, and Galgorm Spa & Golf Resort in Co Antrim.

The judges spent three months travelling all corners of the country and visiting every single property that entered the awards. The ceremony will take place on Tuesday, 24 September in the Lyrath Estate, Co Kilkenny where the winners of each category will be announced.
