More acclaim for new-look Claremont

The Claremont Hotel has won a Highly Commended accolade at the Bloomberg International Hotel Awards, for its new bedroom design.

A £2 million upgrade by Sleepwell Hotels of the Claremont's reception, lounge areas and bedrooms is ongoing.

The 2011 awards ceremony was held at the Savoy Hotel in London, and involved a judging panel including representatives from Google and the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Elsewhere, the Claremont's luxury rooms have been shortlisted for Best Design Award in the United Kingdom Caterer and Hotelkeeper publication.

Managing director of Sleepwell Hotels Mark Wilson says he's delighted time spent on consumer research and commissioning an international design team has paid off.
