Five London hotels triumph at European Hospitality Awards as St Pancras Renaissance named Hotel of the Year
Coworth Park was named Green Hotel of the Year, Corinthia Hotels won Hotel Spa of the Year, Eccleston Square earned In-Room Technology Innovation of the Year and Roland Fasel, general manager of the Dorchester, won Hotelier of the Year.
St Pancras Renaissance, which opened on 5 May this year following a £150m renovation of the 245-room hotel, was described as ‘setting a new benchmark for hotel standards across Europe’, beating off strong competition including the newly-renovated Savoy Hotel London and Soho House Berlin.
Fantastic achievement
“We are thrilled and honoured to have won these two amazing awards,” said St Pancras’ general manager Kevin Kelly, who was also shortlisted for the Hotelier of the Year award. “It is a fantastic achievement for everyone involved.
“The refurbishment of this iconic building has been a long time in the making and we are delighted that all of the efforts have been acknowledged.”
