About the award

Introduced in 1992, this award is the AA’s ultimate accolade for hotels in the UK. It is awarded to hotels that are recognised as being outstanding examples in their particular market. From the small family-run hotel to the most ambitious commercial ventures, hotels of every size and style are potential winners.

This is the newest hotel to be built in the city; a purpose built hotel which has incorporated the listed areas of the old Ebrington Army Barracks with care and sympathy while adding modern surrounding buildings. It enjoys great views over Ebrington Square and down to the Foyle and Peace Bridge.

Attentive professional service with famed Irish hospitality is on show here. Modern, contemporary bedrooms are well equipped and thoughtfully designed. There's also a small thermal suite with treatment rooms and spa reception.

Dining options include The Oak Room, which offers strong contemporary Irish cuisine, and The Corner Lounge, a barstyle operation that goes with a more relaxed menu and offering.

The whole package is excellent, and is making a real splash in the city.
