Sleeperz Hotel Dundee has been voted the best City Budget Hotel in Scotland at the Scottish Hospitality Awards 2019.
The 120-bed Dundee waterfront hotel, which opened in August last year, was chosen ahead of competitors in Edinburgh and Glasgow including Motel One, Premier Inn, Travelodge and Holiday Inn Express.
A design-led premium budget hotel, Sleeperz Hotels Dundee sits on four floors above Dundee’s new £38m railway station and overlooks the new V&A Museum of Design Dundee.
Judges recognised the hotel’s popularity with the public, commitment to paying staff the higher living wage and the involvement of employees in successful charity fundraising and community engagement in Dundee and Tayside.
Manny Baber, general manager, Sleeperz Hotels Dundee, said: “I’m blown away for Sleeperz Hotels and all of our team in Dundee. We are the first Sleeperz Hotel to open in Scotland and inside a year we’ve been voted best in the city budget sector.
“This is recognition of all the hard work we’ve put in to providing high quality hotel stays, outstanding service and great value for money.”
Baber and members of his team picked up the award at a gala dinner and awards ceremony held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Glasgow on Tuesday.
David Myers, chief executive of Sleeperz Hotels, added: “It’s rare that a new hotel brand has such a big impact when opening in a new market but our Dundee property is truly special.
“We enjoy a perfect location next to two world class visitor attractions but ultimately guests have to enjoy their stay and feel special and that’s down to Manny and his team for providing excellent hospitality.”
