Hotels, B&Bs, Guesthouses, service apartments and Lodges from all regions of Scotland have been recognised for their excellence by Scotland’s leading and longest established hotel awards.

The Scottish Hotel Awards Gala Dinner took place last night at the Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa in Edinburgh, with 400 members of the hospitality industry in attendance. Every year since 2003 the national winners are awarded during a live and vibrant ceremony where professionals have the chance to meet and celebrate the achievements of their peers.

New categories have been incorporated this year and a higher number of hotels are taking part of the scheme.

The Scottish Hotel Awards is a unique annual scheme created to encourage, recognise and reward hospitality excellence in Scotland. Member hotels are very carefully assessed throughout the year by industry specialists.

The national results for the Scottish Hotel Awards 2018 can be found below:
