Ice House Hotel a winner at Gold Medal Awards

THE Ice House Hotel in Ballina has been recognised for its online excellence, as on Tuesday night the contemporary four-star Mayo hotel was awarded one of the Irish hospitality industry’s highest accolades, a Hotel & Catering Review Gold Medal Award for Ireland’s Best Hotel Website 2018.

The Ice House won the award at the 30th annual Hotel & Catering Review Gold Medal Awards held in Lyrath Estate Hotel, Kilkenny, beating significant competitors in the Irish hotel market to take the title.

This category recognised websites that enhance user experience and ease the consumer’s bookings.

The judges looked for websites that have not only increased the popularity, effectiveness, access, etc., of a particular property or service, but have ensured above all else that the website appeals to its audience, is accessible, and is efficient.

We are delighted to accept this award,” said Niall Kerins, general manager at the Ice House Hotel. “The guest experience often begins on a property’s website and we have worked hard to utilise new technologies and adapt existing technology in an innovative way to create a welcoming, user-friendly experience from the beginning.”
