The Celtic Manor Resort has been named the UK’s Best Hotel at the Meetings & Incentive Travel Awards in London.
Sister venue International Convention Centre Wales (ICC Wales) also picked up a silver award for Best UK Conference Centre at the awards, which is one of the largest ceremonies for the UK business events industry.
Celtic Manor Resort secured the Gold Award in the Best UK Hotel category, an accolade it has now achieved for the 11th time.
The Celtic Collection was also the only independent hotel operator to be nominated as a finalist in the Best Hotel Brand category.
The Celtic Collection’s Sales Director, Rachel Phillips, said:
“Being crowned the best hotel in the UK for the 11th time is a remarkable achievement for The Celtic Manor Resort. Accolades like this are built on the hard work and expertise of our teams, who deliver exceptional standards across every aspect of the guest experience. This award reflects our continued investment in people, facilities and service, and reinforces our standing as one of the UK’s most respected hospitality brands.”
Julie Hammond, Group CEO of ICC Wales and The Celtic Collection, said:
“It is an honour to see Celtic Manor Resort, ICC Wales, and The Celtic Collection recognised once again with these prestigious awards. Achieving Gold and Silver across such competitive categories speaks volumes about the consistent quality and commitment of our teams. These wins are not only a celebration of our people and venues but also a testament to Wales’ growing reputation as a destination for world-class meetings, conferences and events.”
Both ICC Wales and The Celtic Collection are now looking ahead to the upcoming miaList Awards and ABPCO Excellence Awards, where their venues, teams and individuals are shortlisted across multiple categories.
