What The Awards Mean
These are the exact definitions given by the AA and
ETC
AA
Inspectors'
Choice Hotel
Assessed
and announced annually, the AA's Inspectors' Choice Awards recognise the
very best hotels in Britain and Ireland. These hotels offer consistently
outstanding levels of quality, comfort, cleanliness and customer care.
From large luxury hotels to smaller, owner managed hotels, Inspectors'
Choice hotels stand out as the very best in the British Isles, regardless
of style.
AA
What to expect from a one star hotel. Polite, courteous
staff providing a relatively informal yet competent style of service,
available during the day and evening to receive guests. The majority of
rooms are en suite and there is a designated eating area with a reasonable
choice of food and wines available.
Rosette For Food
Chefs should display a mastery of basic techniques and
be able to produce dishes of sound quality and clarity of flavours, using
good, fresh ingredients.
ETC Silver Star Hotel
These are awarded to hotels which not only achieve the
overall quality within their star rating, but also reach the highest level
of quality in those specific areas which guests identify as being really
important for them. They will reflect the quality of comfort and cleanliness
you will find in the bedrooms and bathrooms, and the quality of service
you'll enjoy throughout your stay.
