Bradford's Great Victoria is Officially Great!
Yorkshire-based hotel and leisure group Tomahawk is celebrating after picking
up a top award for its Great Victoria Hotel in central Bradford.The Great Victoria scooped ‘Small Venue of The Year’ at the prestigious Insider
magazine’s Yorkshire Business Tourism Awards.
The accolade comes hot on the heels of the launch of the hotel’s spectacular
top floor – known as The Fourth. Refurbished at a cost of £1m, the new floor features
13 sumptuous rooms and suites, offering contemporary features such as waterfall
showers with 24 inch shower heads, 50 inch plasma screens and side-by-side baths
with Italian furniture and sumptuous fabrics.
Co-owner Rob Foulston said: “We are absolutely delighted to have picked up the
award for ‘Small Venue of the Year’. It’s a testament to the hard work of our
staff, who work tirelessly to offer the very best standards of service to every
single customer, and I want to take this opportunity to thank them.
“When we opened a luxury boutique hotel in the centre of Bradford it certainly
caused a few raised eyebrows. Now, two and a half years on, we’ve proved that
it is a fantastic hotel and is ideal for business and leisure travellers, as well
as a great venue for weddings, conferences and meetings. And we are especially
proud of our Corniche Restaurant, which draws many non residents to the hotel
due to its truly delicious food and outstanding ambience.”
With a total of 70 bedrooms, the Great Victoria Hotel has a midweek occupancy
rate of 90 per cent, and continues to grow in popularity. It also features the
funky RBar, and can hold fantastic weddings of up to 150 at the wedding breakfast.
Peter Baber, editor of Yorkshire Business Insider, said: “With plush new rooms
coming on line all the time, an obvious attention to the IT needs of the business
traveller, and a restaurant menu that’s truly memorable, the Great Victoria Hotel
is at the forefront of a resurgent Bradford.
