Ardilaun Hotel among the winners at National Hospitality Awards

Management and staff at Galway’s Ardilaun Hotel were delighted to scoop the Silver Medal Award once again at the annual Irish Accommodation Services Institute Awards (IASI) ceremony held in Hotel Westport, recently.

They were again recognised in the four star hotel category, especially having achieved a prestigious award every year since 1990, when the Ardilaun first became accredited with it.

IASI is a national body representing the professional interest of the Accommodation industry in Ireland and was founded in 1985.

It is a very active in promoting best practice standards across accommodation, it provides a forum to meet and network with other professionals in our field of work. A record 100 businesses plus entered the IASI Awards this year with nominees from hotels, hospitals, nursing  homes, colleges and schools throughout Ireland.

Accommodation Manager Anne Kelly is one of the longest serving members of staff at The Ardilaun Hotel.

“The awards scheme is a very useful benchmark for accommodation providers throughout the country. We are delighted and honoured to have secured this prestigious awards programme, considering the significant number of other high profile hotels that have also competed for the Awards, and a testament to the hardworking accommodation team at The Ardilaun,” she said.
