Guernsey gets first five-star hotel
The Old Government House Hotel and Spa on Guernsey has become the island’s first ever five-star hotel.
The hotel, part of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, was awarded the accolade by the Department of Commerce and Employment in Guernsey following a recent quality rating assessment.
On announcing the award, minister for commerce and employment, Deputy Carla McNulty Bauer said: “The addition of a five-star hotel property to the island’s portfolio allows Guernsey to rival any town, city or tourist resort on the range of accommodation offering.â€
Andrew Chantrell, general manager of The OGH added: “This recognition is the culmination of the hard work of not only the whole team at the hotel but also that of our president and founder Mrs Beatrice Tollman.
“She is steadfast in her commitment to the guest experience, and has invested heavily in refurbishment across the hotel to help us achieve the standards befitting Guernsey’s first five star property. We’d also like to thank Guernsey’s Department for Commerce and Employment for their continued support.â€
Located in St Peter Port, The Old Government House Hotel & Spa, is one of the best known hotels in Guersney.
