Independent and boutique hospitality sector
The Hilden Style Awards are the only awards to celebrate unique style and interior design from the independent and boutique hospitality sector. This year’s judges included Thom Hetherington, CEO of Holden Media and organiser of the Northern Restaurant and Bar Exhibition; Nora Elias, Editor of the Professional Spa & Wellness magazine; Kerry Adams, Regional Chair of the UK Housekeepers Association (UKHA) for Yorkshire and North-East; and Anne Britton, Executive Housekeeper of the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel, London.
In September the judges whittled down the entries to just three per category, shortly afterwards all venues received a visit from representatives of the Hilden awards.
Rod Nutter, one of this year’s Style Awards judges and Commercial Director for Hilden says:
“All of our nine finalists were extremely different and offered something unique to their guests so deciding the winner was not without firm debate, but we did get there in the end. We are thankful to all the amazing venues we’ve had the pleasure of visiting and dealing with.”
The Winners
Most Stylish Bathroom 2015
Artist Residence – An elegant and boutique townhouse based in Pimlico, London, offering lots of style and a great central location
Judges’ comments: “Of all the finalists this is something we haven’t seen before, completely unique and gives you a sense of a remote log cabin in the middle of a city. Love what they have done with the space.”
Most Stylish Guestroom 2015
Unique Chic Bijou Apartments, stunning apartments for two people situated in a great spot next to Edinburgh Castle
Judges’ comments: “This really epitomises the owner’s personality and quirky sense of style. The apartments are very small which you’d expect for such a prime location but it goes to prove that size doesn’t have to hamper style. It is much harder to style small spaces than large open rooms so we must show appreciation of how the space has been used. Fabulous.”
Most Stylish Dining Experience
The Church Inn – local ales and a candlelit dining room in a rustic 18th-century rural inn based in Mobberley, Cheshire
Judges’ comments: “The attention to detail is on another level, no corner is left uncovered and they have captured the essence of a historic venue perfectly. The sheer effort that has gone into creating a unique, country dining experience is fantastic. When can we eat here?”
