The Connacht Hotel Wins Major European Award

The Connacht Hotel in Galway has been awarded the 2021 Family Friendly Hotel of the Year in the European Travel Awards programme!

The team at This is Galway would like to extend a huge congratulations to The Connacht Hotel for this incredible achievement. We're not surprised, though, that they were awarded in the family category! The newly refurbished hotel is a great spot for a family break away; spacious, modern and comfy with loads of facilities such as leisure centre, kids club and more. The hotel is conveniently located on the old Dublin Road and boasts a huge variety of rooms to suit all families, from luxurious suites to self-catering apartments and even a 'rock & roll tour bus' style motor home that sleeps up to 8 people, The Connacht Cruiser.

Eveanna Ryan Connacht Hotel Group Sales and Marketing Manager said “We are delighted to receive this award on behalf of the team in the Connacht Hotel, It truly is a team effort and we pride ourselves on the fact that generations of families return to us year on year, and now more than ever we look forward to seeing them again when it is safe to do so”

While this year has been the toughest the travel industry has ever faced, the judges endeavoured to recognise those who deserve praise and to promote the hard work of tenacious travel businesses. Recipients of Travel & Hospitality awards in 2021 were scrupulously selected based on the aggregation of reviews from multiple third-party sources before being chosen by a panel of experts who analyse submission material, review customer feedback and compare the facilities of each entrant.

The winners were those who demonstrated uniqueness, quality of services and facilities and exceptional levels of customer care across a number of categories.

Over 4,000 nominations were received for this year’s programme and the standard of entries was incredibly high, according to The Travel and Hospitality Awards committee. The judging panel had great difficulty in narrowing down the entries but the winners reflect the very best in travel and hospitality standards. The team at Travel & Hospitality Awards, said: “We were overwhelmed by the quality of entries this year. We hope this guide will be a useful tool for discerning travellers planning their next luxury getaway. Congratulations once again to all our winners.”
