This annual event is a celebration of the very best suppliers to the group travel industry and was held at the four star Tower hotel, beside Tower Bridge, London.
Warner Leisure Hotels was nominated in three categories; The Best Provision of Disabled Facilities, the Best All-inclusive Group Holiday Venue and the Best Group Catering Facilities and is delighted to be winner of the Best Provision of Disabled Facilities beating off stiff competition from the British Museum and Chester Zoo. This brilliant win was later topped by Warner Leisure Hotels being awarded the Best Overall Group Supplier, the outstanding company that had most convincingly won its respective category.
Warner Leisure Hotels’ managing director Jim Forward enthused ‘This is a great award. Not only was it awarded on the basis of the most votes across all categories from group organisers, but we were also up against every type of operation who caters for groups…cruises, foreign hotels, theatres, day attractions, coach operators and alike. It shows the great care we take to actively engage with our group organisers to discover what they might want, to build relationships based on trust, and to make sure we focus on delivering the promised guest experience on site. We see the title of Best Overall Group Supplier as a brilliant accolade for all the team in this value chain.’
Exclusively for adults, Warner Leisure Hotels’ enjoys an occupancy rate of 95% in its portfolio of 13 properties across the UK. As well as offering a wide choice and style of accommodation, each with its own personality, the hotel chain is renowned for its Experience Breaks, offering over 700 additional activities from hot air balloon trips and Dance Experiences with Karen Hardy to a Mini Cooper Treasure Hunt or walking with Llama’s.
We offer groups a personalised service, savings of up to 25% and extra benefits for the organiser making us the perfect choice for groups.
Warner Leisure Hotels offer exceptional facilities for our disabled guests, anything from hearing loops in the cabaret rooms, the availability of portable hearing loops for individual guests and lift floor announcers through to chair friendly toilets and disabled parking. Wishing to go that extra mile, sites take great pride in adding that thoughtful extra, such as the swimming pool changing rooms at Holme lacy House specifically adapted to meet disabled guests needs.
In support of the Group Travel Awards Warner Leisure Hotels chose to sponsor the Most Group Friendly UK Destination and wishes to congratulate the city of York on their well deserved win.
From the majestic Thoresby Hall Hotel and Spa in Nottinghamshire, and the historic Littlecote House in Berkshire where Henry VIII courted Jane Seymour, through to Victorian character hotel Alvaston Hall in Cheshire with its own golf course, and Lakeside seaside resort on Hayling Island in Hampshire offering relaxed accommodation in a pretty traditional seaside location, there is a hotel or resort to suit every taste and style.
