Housekeepers from throughout Northern Ireland gathered at the Clandeboye Lodge Hotel in March to discover who had cleaned up in this year’s Hotel and Guesthouse Housekeeping Awrads.

The event, which was hosted by Pamela Ballantine and organised by the Northern Ireland Hotel Federation, saw the Belmore Court and Motel, Enniskillen, win the ‘under 90 rooms’ category and the Hilton Belfast awarded first place in the ’90 rooms and over’ category.

The awards are held on an annual basis and have been designed to showcase the important role of housekeeping and the excellence achieved by housekeeping staff. This is the fifth year that the awards have taken place.
