The AA has announced the shortlist for the prestigious AA Spa Hotel of the Year, ahead of the AA Hospitality Awards 2022 ceremony to be held on Monday 26 September 2022 at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London.
Recognising the excellence of hotels, restaurants and their teams across the UK, the AA Hospitality Awards is one of the industry’s most prestigious and highly anticipated events. This year’s Awards, hosted by Gabby Logan and spanning 15 categories, will name the best hotels, restaurants, and spas across the UK, and will celebrate remarkable figures from the industry with awards such as the Lifetime Achievement Award, Chef’s Chef Award and more.
Simon Numphud, Managing Director at AA Media said: “We are delighted to share the shortlist for the AA Spa Hotel of the Year, celebrating the best spa hotels in the UK. We look forward to crowning the winners at the awards ceremony next month, recognising the hard work and passion of so many teams behind these incredible businesses, and reconnecting in person with the industry after a challenging few years.”
The AA’s ultimate accolade for hotels in the UK, the AA Spa Hotel of the Year is awarded to outstanding examples of a spa hotel. This year’s shortlist includes:
Lime Wood in Lyndhurst, Hampshire
The Scarlet in Mawgan Porth, Cornwall
The Spa Hotel at Ribby Hall Village in Wrea Green, Lancashire

Kenneth Speirs, Managing Director at Lime Wood said: “With the difficult past few years behind us it’s wonderful to see the caring and relaxed art of hospitality return to Lime Wood. This is a tremendous recognition by AA Hospitality for the dedication, commitment and care delivered by the whole team. Being appreciated in such a way is a great source of motivation for everyone and encourages us all to reach for higher goals.”

Emma Stratton, Owner of The Scarlet said: “After a challenging few years and with the continued challenges of staff shortages in hospitality, being shortlisted in this award means so much to the team. Their hard work has been recognised and rightly so. They have continued to put their heart and soul into creating wonderful experiences for our guests and we thank them for that.”

Andrew Scott, Hotel Manager at The Spa Hotel at Ribby Hall Village commented: “To receive the news that we have been shortlisted for this prestigious award has reinvigorated the team and confirmed that we continue to offer the excellent service and experience expected by our customer. It reinforces the daily desire to drive forward with new ideas and improved offerings whilst maintaining the amiable approach our team takes in their work.”
