The Knight Residence five star serviced apartments in Edinburgh has been recognised in the Scottish Hotel Awards 2011, held on 27 March in Glasgow.

The luxury property in the heart of Edinburgh was commended in three categories – Hospitality Gold Medal for Duty Manager Chris Michaels, Manager Gold Medal for GM Colin Stone and winner of the Serviced Apartments Customer Care Award 2011.

General Manager Colin Stone said of the awards: “I am hugely proud of the team here and all they have achieved. Excellent customer service is at the heart of everything we do and to have that recognised is really an honour.”

Now in its eighth year, the Scottish Hotel of the Year Awards is described as the ‘Oscars’ of the hospitality industry, celebrating all aspects of one of Scotland’s most important industries.

No stranger to awards, The Knight Residence was voted number one in Scotland in 2010 by the highly respected Expedia Insider’s Select list, being recognised for its excellent service, fantastic overall experience and good value. In previous years the property has been number one in the UK and the top in Europe.

Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle and walking distance to the city’s best loved attractions, the Knight Residence five-star serviced apartments offer space and comfort, teamed with the luxury of a fully serviced hotel.

The generously proportioned apartments can be more cost effective than multiple hotel rooms and the fully equipped kitchen, with eating area in the lounge, allows family and friends to cook, eat and relax together.
