Best Deluxe Accommodation

This category recognises hotels offering deluxe style five star accommodation. Nominees in this category represent the very finest in service and facilities available in hotel accommodation, including but not limited to, a concierge and turn down service. Special attention will be given to service and those little extras that make the guest experience a memorable one. Please note: Eligible venues must provide a voucher for two people marked “This voucher can be presented at checkout”.
