Harvey’s Point Hotel has been crowned the Supreme Winner at the prestigious 2025 Gold Medal Hotel Awards.
The Gold Medal Hotel Award winners were announced on the evening of January 27th during a spectacular, sold-out black-tie gala at The Galmont Hotel & Spa in Galway. Hosted by the wonderful Anton Savage, 700 in attendance, the night was a magnificent celebration of the talent, dedication, and excellence that define the hospitality industry.
With over 1,000 entries submitted this year across 38 categories, the judging process was more rigorous than ever before. Reaching the podium in such a competitive field is a remarkable achievement. We would like to extend our warmest congratulations to all our winners and finalists who continue to raise the bar for excellence across the country.
It was truly an unforgettable night spent honouring the people and places that make this industry so special!
