NI hotels shine in Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards

Three Northern Ireland hotels have been named as some of the best places to stay in Tripadvisor’s 2024 Travellers’ Choice Hotels Awards.

Derry’s Bishop’s Gate Hotel is a new entry to the Best of the Best category and has been listed as No. 19 in the prestigious Top Hotels in the UK, behind the likes of The Resident in Covent Garden and The Chesterfield in Mayfair.

In 2020, the same hotel appeared in the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice awards ranking sixth in the Top 25 Hotels – United Kingdom and Channel Islands’ category.

Nestled within the walled city, reviewers rave about its prime location for exploring local shops, bars, and historical sites on foot.

Northern Ireland also comes out among the top in the Small and Boutique Hotels category in this year’s awards, with The Harrison, Belfast named No.16 in the UK followed by Ardtara Country House, Upperlands, Maghera, at No.19.

In 2022, the bohemian Harrison Chambers of Distinction on the Malone Road took fourth place on The National Geographic’s “ultimate hotel guide to Belfast” which listed ten of the best places to stay in the city.

Analysing 12-months of review data for over 1.6 million hotels listed on the site, winners span nine categories from the definitive Top Hotels through to All-Inclusive, B&Bs and Inns, Family-Friendly, Luxury, Small and Boutique.

This year sees the launch of three new subcategories in the awards; Pet-Friendly, Sustainable and Wellness.

The No. 1 Top Hotel in the World for 2024 is Brazil’s Hotel Colline de France, a boutique hotel renowned for its personalised service and French elegance in the middle of the mountain town of Gramado.

For three consecutive years, the 34-suite Hotel Colline de France has been ranked in the top five, boasting more than 4,000 5-star bubble reviews.
