Triple awards win for Hotel Westport

HOTEL Westport is celebrating a triple awards win.

At a reception in Dublin City Hall, Elizabeth Crabill, chief executive officer of CIE Tours International, presented Hotel Westport and Westport House each with Merit Awards at their annual Awards of Excellence.

The awards recognise the best hotels and attractions across Ireland and are based on customer feedback from over 32,000 customers throughout the year.

Owen Hughes, director of Hotel Westport and Westport House, was delighted with the honour and said: “We believe this is a testament to the top-class accommodation, dining and heritage experience that our Hotel Westport and Westport House teams provide to visitors from all over the world.

“We appreciate the support and vision that CIE Tours has had in bringing tours to Westport for over 10 years now – one of the first tour operators to do so. In turn, we re-pay this with a warm welcome and the very best of west of Ireland hospitality, customer care and attention to detail across the Westport House Estate.

“We look forward to welcoming – and exceeding the expectations of - many more CIE Tours visitors into the future.”

Declan Heneghan, general manager of Hotel Westport, commented on the 'consistency, hard work and commitment to high standards of the hotel team', demonstrated by the fact this is the 10th year in a row that it has received this Award of Excellence.

Also in the past week, the hotel accommodation team were awarded a Gold Standard Award by the Irish Accommodation Services Institute (IASI) and the kitchen team were honoured for a seventh year with an AA Rosette for culinary excellence.

Set in the lush 400 acre estate, Hotel Westport and Westport House each complement the other to make visitors’ stays in Westport truly unforgettable.
