Awarded to hotels offering the best customer experience and highest levels of service, the new AA Red Star holders are: 11 Cadogan Gardens (London), which was awarded the maximum five Red Stars, marking it as among the very best hotels in the UK and Ireland, while four Red Stars were given to Forest Side (Grasmere, Cumbria), Linthwaite House, (Windermere, Cumbria), and The Swan (Southwold, Suffolk). Three Red Stars were also awarded to THE PIG at Bridge Place (Canterbury, Kent).
The announcement follows the release of the AA’s Rosettes last week, which saw three hotel restaurants pick up the coveted accolade of four AA Rosettes: The Latymer, Pennyhill Park (Bagshot, Surrey), Ocean Restaurant at The Atlantic Hotel (Jersey), and The Ritz Restaurant (London). Meanwhile, nine hotel restaurants received three AA Rosettes: Murrays at Whittlebury Hall, The Vineyard, Newbury (Berkshire), Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall (Ripon, North Yorkshire), Albert and Michel Roux Jr at Inverlochy Castle (Fort William, Highlands), Driftwood (Portscatho, Cornwall), Minster Mill (Minster Lovall, Oxfordshire), The Northall at Corinthia London, The Betterment by Jason Atherton at Biltmore Hotel (London), and Davies & Brook at Claridge’s (London).
Simon Numphud, Managing Director at AA Media said “There is no denying that it has been an immensely difficult time for the hospitality sector, but we have seen hotels across the UK and Ireland rise to the occasion, providing the public with fantastic experiences and enjoyable stays despite the challenges of COVID-19. Providing outstanding hospitality is an impressive feat at any time, but is particularly notable now, and we are delighted to be able to recognise the hard work and creativity of our Red Star winners.”
