RBH celebrates its portfolio’s achievements at annual awards

RBH, the UK’s most experienced hospitality management company, brought together its portfolio of over 50 hotels in Aberdeen to celebrate the achievements of the past year at its annual awards night. 

The evening followed on from RBH’s 2-day Olympic-themed annual conference, and recognised outstanding performance across 8 categories, with the coveted ‘Hotel of the Year’ award going to The Aberdeen Altens Hotel. The award is measured against 7 core metrics: hotel’s market share, profitability, profit flowthrough, guest experience, health & safety audit compliance, employee retention and engagement and energy reduction; in which the hotel performed excellently and surpassed its targets.

Other award winners included Annie Brown from The Municipal Hotel Liverpool, taking ‘General Manager of the Year’. Each of the shortlisted General Managers were celebrated for having had a fantastic year – recognising their outstanding work within their property, within the hospitality industry and for their business partnering with the management company team.

Attendees also celebrated each hotel’s and management company’s chosen Employee of the Year, demonstrating RBH’s core values of integrity, care, ambition and excellence.
