AA Hospitality Awards 2022 celebrates hospitality stars

With a new year comes a new set of AA winners for the hospitality industry. Let's take a look at some of the winners from this year's spectacular ceremony.

About the 2022 AA Hospitality Awards

Returning with an in-person ceremony for the first time since the pandemic began, this year's event was hosted by TV presenter Gabby Logan, with the awards honouring the best hospitality establishments in the UK across 26 categories.

While the awards recognise businesses and institutions, there are also some categories which highlight the individuals that make these operations run so smoothly at such a high level. Just some of the awards on offer include AA Hotel of the Year, AA Accessible Award, AA Housekeeper of the Year, AA Chefs’ Chef, AA Lifetime Achievement Award and AA Restaurant of the Year,

Who were the winners?

One of the most notable winners of the night was Mark Birchall, Chef Patron of Moor Hall in Aughton, Lancashire, who won the award for 'Chef's Chef'. The 'Lifetime Achievement Award' went to John Williams MBE while Diane Payne from Rockliffe Hall in Darlington picked up 'Housekeeper of the Year'. The 'Small Hotel Group of the Year' award, meanwhile, was won by Iconic Luxury Hotels, and the 'Accessible Award' was presented to Rudding Park in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

These wonderful awards recognise the efforts of smaller businesses as well as promote accessibility so that UK holidays and stays can be enjoyed by everyone.
