Hotel Blue Plaques™
Have a look at the examples below: we hope you'll appreciate the concept!
The central logo is an endorsement by National Hotels of the Year® Scotland. The upper line in gold is an eye-catching, 2-3 word 'original' description of your hotel's prime quality or characteristic. The lower line of text in white is a more straightforward classification of your hotel type and nature.
Both lines of text are agreed between yourselves and the Awards.
More below on the types of plaques and supporting materials available.

Scottish Hotel Blue Plaques™ are
designed to be displayed
at any entrance point of welcome, including reception; or on your
web pages
and
social media.
In a world of stars and numerical rating systems, we hope these will provide you - and your prospective guest - with a way of quickly grasping what the hotel is 'all about'. It's also a
Scottish system, useful now
VisitScotland
no longer offer QA stars.
The plaques
augment the Hotel Honours™
- the Hotels of the Year® Scotland awards and the Hotel People of the Year™ awards - and are available to Prime Members. There is no upgrade fee, only a small (at cost price) supplement if a more expensive framing option is chosen.
Plaques can be delivered by post for speed or we'll be delighted to present properly with background banner, etc., on site.
