FITZPATRICK LIFESTYLE HOTELS BOTH EARN 2012 TRIPADVISOR CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE

 

Honoured as a Highly Rate Hotel as Reviewed by Travellers on the World's Largest Travel Site

The Morgan Hotel and The Beacon Hotel today both announced that they have received a TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence Award. The accolade, which honours hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide. Approximately only 10 percent of accommodations listed on TripAdvisor receive this prestigious award, therefore making it a double achievement for Fitzpatrick Lifestyle Hotels.

 

To qualify for the Certificate of Excellence, businesses must maintain an overall rating of four or higher, out of a possible five, as reviewed by travellers on TripAdvisor. Additional criteria include the volume of reviews received within the last 12 months.

 

The Morgan and The Beacon Hotel Managers; Eddie Sweeney and Raja Kamran are delighted with the results and both thank their teams for their continuous hard work and dedication.

 

This is the second award this year for The Beacon Hotel, as it was also chosen as 'Trendiest Hotel' winner by TripAdvisor in its 2012 Travelers' Choice awards. The annual TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice awards honor the world's best hotels, earning their distinction from those who know them best - real travelers. Unlike any other hotel honors, TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice winners are based on millions of valuable reviews and opinions from travelers around the world.

 

Paul Fitzpatrick, owner of Fitzpatrick Lifestyle Hotels said; "We strive to offer our guests a most memorable lifestyle experience, so this accolade reflects that and also proves our teams' hard work is translating into positive traveler reviews on TripAdvisor."

 

"TripAdvisor is pleased to honor exceptional businesses for consistent excellence, as reviewed by travellers on the site," said Christine Petersen, president of TripAdvisor for Business. "The Certificate of Excellence award gives highly rated establishments around the world the recognition they deserve.

With The Easter Break just around the corner, many people will be looking for an Easter getaway. There are a few essentials that have to be considered before booking your break and we at The Beacon Hotel in Sandyford feel that we have covered all avenues.

 

1) Location - Easter breaks tend to be of a shorter duration then other hotel getaways so it's probable best to choose somewhere that is far enough away to forget your troubles, but not too much of a journey. The Beacon Hotel, located in Sandyford is ideal for those in the Dublin area or in the Leinster region. Located just off the M50 the hotel is easicy accessible by car and has free parking for guests.

 

2) Price - With the Summer fast approaching, many people will be saving for a sun holiday or a staycation break in Ireland. This Easter, the Beacon Hotel has a price point that will not be met in any other luxury hotel. For only €120 Per Couple (  €60 Per Person ) you can avail of a luxury overnight B&B and a 3 course A La Carte Meal for 2 at My Thai Restaurant.

 

3) Another consideration of people is good Friday. Some people like to relax with a glass of wine on when experiencing a Hotel break. We do serve alcohol to guests on Good Friday and the bar will also be open to residents this year.

 

We hope you can enjoy your well earned Easter Break with us at The Beacon Hotel. For more information just call 01 2915000 or mail reservations@thebeacon.com or click here to book this great Easter Break.
