Bea Tollman has been recognized for continuingly unparalleled levels of service, excellence and luxury across all of the collection’s five- and four-star properties in Europe, which include flagship The Milestone Hotel in Kensington, Guernsey’s only five-star property, The Old Government House Hotel and Spa and the famed Hotel d’Angleterre in Geneva.

Scooping one of the biggest awards of the evening, Bea Tollman said:

I’m humbled and honored to have been recognized for doing something that I truly love, each and every day. I thank the judges, the fantastic teams at all of my hotels and of course my wonderful family, many of whom are involved in the business too. My driving passion is to make every stay memorable for every single guest, to make them feel truly welcomed and special, and I believe having this at the heart of everything we do is what has led to this award and many of the others we are lucky to have received.

Summarizing their verdict, the judges said:

Personifying the value of having a genuine hotelier running the show, Beatrice Tollman has never lost sight of the guiding principle of hospitality: service. After five decades in the industry, Beatrice's ongoing involvement on the front line of her hotels is an inspiration, setting the standards for the next generations to follow.

A well deserved honor in this travel writer's mind!

Yours,

The Grateful Traveler
