The Gibson Hotel in Dublin, also owned by Dalata, took the Silver Medal.
The growing company, which owns Maldron Hotels and Clayton Hotels along with a portfolio of other hotels including The Gibson, has invested heavily in tailoring its hotels and service to suit the business guest.
Located in the heart of city, Clayton Hotel Belfast opened its newly refurbished conference space two years ago and the dedicated team has hosted a full range of events, up to 550 delegates.
Across all hotels, Dalata Hotel Group have focused on developing their meeting and events facilities, which are fitted with cutting-edge equipment to allow for seamless conferences and events.
Now in their 32nd year, the Gold Medal Awards are one of the leading independent awards for the Irish hospitality industry and aim to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the hotel and catering sector over the past twelve months.
This year’s awards were announced at a gala ceremony on Tuesday March 22nd at the Lyrath Estate Hotel, Kilkenny.
CEO of the Dalata Hotel Group, Dermot Crowley said the landscape for business travel and hosting business events in hotels has changed greatly within the last two years.
He said: “We are delighted to win both the Gold and Silver Medals in such prestigious awards, particularly in the best Business & Conference Hotel category after the challenges the pandemic has brought for hosting events of this nature in hotels.
“Congratulations to the teams at Clayton Hotel Belfast and The Gibson Hotel for these outstanding and fully deserved awards.”
The hotel group launched its Seamless solution last year to enable businesses to use its extensive networks of four-star hotels to host virtual and hybrid events and conferences. The hotel group can offer a virtual studio, live streaming capabilities and access to remote presenters at selected venues.
Dermot Crowley said: “We recognised the need for innovative meeting and events facilities and a great deal of thought has gone into the Seamless initiative to make it easy and straightforward to use, fully flexible and scalable so we can cater for a wide range of events – the options really are limitless.”
