Double First for Chewton Glen
Double First for Chewton Glen
Congratulations are due twice over to Chewton Glen as the country house hotel was named the Number 1 UK Hotel for Families in the Condé Nast Johansens UK & Ireland Awards for Excellence 2015. This Award follows closely on Chewton Glen’s recent success in the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Awards when it reclaimed its position as the Best UK Holiday Hotel.
Judges commented: “When a hotel has received as many accolades as Chewton Glen expectations run high on arrival. But despite this you will still be blown away, even if you are a returning guest, because Chewton Glen is always improving – even when it does not seem possible - and evolving.”
Commenting on the hotel’s success in the Condé Nast Johansens Awards of Excellence, Andrew Stembridge, Managing Director of Chewton Glen, said: “We are immensely proud to have won this Award. Throughout the past five decades the hotel has been renowned for innovation, investment and service, this has been accelerated recently, particularly with the opening of the Treehouse Suites in 2012. These innovative suites have added a new dimension to the hotel and provided an opportunity to market to a new audience, in particular the family market. In August 2013 the hotel believed it hit an all-time high, yet this year it has exceeded all expectations.”
Chewton Glen’s wine list and sommeliers also received two special commendations in the Condé Nast Johansens awards, firstly for the ‘Best Choice of English Wines’ with the judges commenting: “An exceptional and fashionable showcase that educates and introduces the diner to an array of diverse English, and Welsh, wines.” The second commendation was the ‘Sommelier’s Award’ with the judges remarking: “An exceptional and extensive list that encourages you to make friends with the sommelier.”
