The beautifully located hotel voted the best in Wales
The Good Hotel Guide has revealed the winners of its prestigious César Awards.
Announced annually, the Césars (inspired by Swiss hotelier César Ritz) comprise a collection of outstanding hotels, inns and B&Bs throughout Britain & Ireland that are recommended by readers and backed by professional inspection.
For 2024 the Césars award for the best hotel in Wales has been awarded to the Harbourmaster in Aberaeron.
The colourfully painted hotel which sits on the edge of the harbour in Ceredigion, was the stand out choice.
Named after different historic sailing ships, the maritime-themed rooms in the former harbourmaster’s house all have sea views; the top-floor suite is particularly sought after. There are plenty of local specialities in the restaurant.
Wells and Louise Jones of The Harbourmaster, said: “We are absolutely over the moon to have won such a highly regarded award. The team, managed by Dai Morgan, work exceptionally hard to maintain the excellent standards that the Harbourmaster has built over the years and we are delighted for them all that this has not gone unnoticed.
“Hospitality has been a challenging industry over the last few years so to win this award is just wonderful and will be a real boost for all the staff.”
