Now in their 35th year, the Virgin Media Business Gold Medal Awards are recognised as the leading independent awards programme for the Irish hospitality industry. Judged by industry experts, the Virgin Media Business Gold Medal Awards recognise and reward excellence in hospitality and catering operations across the island of Ireland. The winners were announced on Tuesday, the 28th of January at a gala awards ceremony hosted by Anton Savage at The Galmont Hotel & Spa in Galway.

After careful consideration, the judging panel chose the candidates they believed to be worthy of receiving a Gold Medal Award and only the best in the industry were crowned winners. Amongst many other winners on the night, Adare Manor in Co. Limerick took home the Gold Award for “Ireland’s Five Star Resort”, sponsored by Virgin Media Business. Hotels were awarded nationwide as Castle Leslie Estate was named “Ireland’s Favourite Place To Stay”, voted for by the public. See below for all of our winners.
