About

Attended by world-renowned chefs, prominent hoteliers and restaurateurs, hospitality gurus and key media, and with a celebrity host and entertainment, the AA Hospitality Awards is a highlight in the industry calendar and truly is a night to remember!

Over the course of the evening, the event recognises and rewards the excellent services provided by our very best establishments, in addition to acting as the initial high-profile launch of the latest editions of the AA’s range of lifestyle guides.

Guests are treated to a champagne reception followed by a sensational gourmet meal created by a high-profile chef, and receive a goody bag at the end of the event containing the AA Restaurant and Hotel Guide 2013.

"Amanda and I, and all of us here at “The Nest” are simply over the moon having won “The AA Pub of the Year, England 2011/2012” Trophy and award.  With the ever more discerning clientele, it is so important to try and exceed their expectations. These leading AA awards are vital to our industry to maintain standards.
Considering we only opened our doors to the public in June last year, we are truly delighted to receive this prestigious award.  It is a testament to the investment in infrastructure and through sheer dedication and hard work from our entire team at The Feathered Nest Country Inn that this has been made possible."
Tony and Amanda Timmer, The Feathered Nest Country Inn, AA Pub of the Year England, 2011-2012

Jonathan Davies, Director of Monmouthshire based Crown Hotels and Restaurants, owners of The Crown at Whitebrook, near Monmouth, said: “We were thrilled and extraordinarily delighted to have been recognised in this very special way with this prestigious accolade from the AA.  To be recognised as Best Restaurant in Wales and to simultaneously receive three AA Rosettes was indeed an honour. The AA is recognised as one of the world’s most highly respected brands. The AA awards mark a further step along the journey for The Crown in achieving our ultimate aim of being recognised internationally as a world culinary centre of excellence. We have the awards on prominent display at Whitebrook.”

Winning the AA Eco Hotel of the Year 2011 award was a great honour for the Lancaster London.
Our entire team works incredibly hard to achieve the highest levels of CSR and eco-friendly practices, and it was a great accomplishment to have achieved zero landfill.  We are all determined to continue making progress with future environmental and CSR projects and delighted to announce that our second London Honey show will be held on 8 October 2012.  We are also due to commence work on our “intelligent bedrooms” and in-house bottling which will save up to 50K bottles of water per year.
The AA Eco Hotel of the Year award is a fantastic initiative to promote green practices.
