Grantley Hall has been awarded Independent Hotel of the Year 2025, a prestigious recognition from the Independent Hotel Show Awards, presented in partnership with Preferred Hotels & Resorts.

These awards celebrate the passion, creativity, and dedication of independently spirited hoteliers and designers across the UK and Ireland who push boundaries and deliver unforgettable guest experiences.

This accolade comes after a landmark year for Grantley Hall, which joined The Leading Hotels of the World in early 2025, placing it among the most exclusive and distinguished hotels globally. The hotel’s exceptional growth includes the launch of the Grantley Arms, its charming country pub, expanding its unique hospitality offerings and reaffirming its reputation as one of the UK’s most outstanding independent hotels.

Nuno César de Sá, General Manager of Grantley Hall, who collected the award at the ceremony on Monday said: “This is an incredibly special recognition for us. Grantley Hall has always been proudly independently owned and independently spirited, which allows us to deliver hospitality in a truly unique way.

“Our team pours passion into every detail, and this award is a testament to their dedication to creating memorable stays for every guest who walks through our doors.”

The Independent Hotel of the Year award highlights Grantley Hall’s distinctive approach to luxury hospitality, combining bespoke service with individuality and flair. It celebrates independent hotels that innovate, set new standards, and stay true to their own vision, solidifying Grantley Hall’s position as a leader in the UK’s independent hotel sector.
