The Savoy was announced winner of the first Customers’ Choice Award at the AA Hospitality Awards 2017-18, held on Monday 25 September. The event, which recognises and rewards service excellence in the best establishments around the UK, marked the 20th in the AA’s history and saw winners across 20 categories. World-renowned chefs, prominent hoteliers and restaurateurs, hospitality gurus and key media were in attendance.
New for 2017, the AA Customers’ Choice Award is powered by ReviewPro, the guest intelligence system that allows hoteliers to gain an understanding of reputation, performance and operational strengths and weaknesses. The award has been introduced to celebrate the hotel with the best guest reviews across 175 different online travel agencies and review sites in 45 languages. The Savoy scored the largest number of reviews with 2,871 posts (86% positive) following an analysis by ReviewPro of more than 2 million online guest reviews of 3,485 AA accredited establishments in the UK published in the last year.
Upon receiving the award, Philip M. Barnes, Managing Director of The Savoy, commented, “This accolade is an important recognition of our colleagues and their passion for taking care of our guests. To know that we are receiving the best guest reviews is a true gauge of their success.”
One of the most celebrated London landmarks, The Savoy is perfectly located on the Northbank of the River Thames and within steps of vibrant Covent Garden. 267 rooms and suites, many of which afford spectacular river views, accompany some of the capital’s most well known restaurants, including Gordon Ramsay’s Savoy Grill, Kaspar’s at The Savoy, and the newly restored Simpson’s in the Strand, along with two award-winning bars. Varied events spaces provide the backdrop to glamorous social occasions and prominent corporate functions.
