Nottingham Venues’ Orchard Hotel has been shortlisted in the upcoming UDine awards.
The 4* eco hotel, located next to the East Midlands Conference Centre within the grounds of The University of Nottingham, has been named as a finalist in the University Hotel of the Year category, which recognises those hotels linked with universities that provide an excellent experience for their guests.
The Orchard Hotel comprises 202 bedrooms, 6 meeting rooms, a restaurant and welcomes thousands of business and leisure guests each year. It has been built to the highest environmental standards and has achieved a BREEAM rating of excellent. In December 2022 the hotel was awarded Greengage’s ECOsmart Silver accreditation.
Tom Waldron-Lynch, general manager of Nottingham Venues, says: “The Udine Awards are a landmark event within the university hospitality sector, and I am delighted that The Orchard Hotel has been shortlisted.
“Whilst we enjoy strong links with the University of Nottingham, the hotel welcomes thousands of business and leisure guests each year and, in many ways, our setting and facilities are one of Nottingham’s best kept secrets. Fingers crossed we can scoop the award on the day.”
The UDine awards are a joint initiative between Inside Foodservice and University Hospitality Seminars. The annual event celebrates excellence in the university hospitality sector and recognises the organisations that are leading the way in the industry.
The awards will take place at The Orchard Hotel on Tuesday 20 June 2023 and will be hosted by celebrity chef, restauranteur and TV host Simon Rimmer.
