Bishop’s Gate clinches fifth TripAdvisor award

 The beautiful Bishop’s Gate Hotel has landed a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for the fifth year in a row.

The Grade B1 listed building, which sits within Derry’s historic city walls in the city’s Cathedral Quarter,  takes its place alongside premium hotels including Claridge’s, The Green Park Hotel, Hotel 41 and Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.

The hotel’s managing director Ciaran O’Neill said: “When you look at the locations and names of the hotels featured on this list, it is a great statement of confidence in the city’s hotel offering and an endorsement of the commitment and effort by everyone involved.

“This award shines a spotlight on the North West’s premium hospitality industry and will provide a real boost to the international image of the region and a boost to domestic tourism. Derry-Londonderry is a confident, vibrant, forward looking city and district that provides the best of all worlds, offering city, coastal and countryside experiences.”

In TripAdvisor’s UK’s top 25 rated hotels, Bishop’s Gate this year ranked in the top 10 – with the The Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best list compiled on the back of real guest experiences.

Ciaran added:  “It is a reflection of our staff’s enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment to excellent customer service. In my opinion, they are simply the best and that’s why Bishop’s Gate has been recognised by the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards five years in a row!

“We believe in delivering a genuine welcome to all of our guests and we aim to ensure every visit is special, whether it is a formal occasion such as a wedding or simply friends enjoying lunch or afternoon tea in The Gown Restaurant. It is extremely encouraging to have this recognised and reflected in visitor feedback.

“This year, we are confident that staycations will be a popular choice for many wishing to holiday at home. At Bishop’s Gate, we work tirelessly to deliver experiences that exceed expectations whilst positioning ourselves as one of Northern Ireland’s leading destinations.”
