Hotel's 'incredible' nomination for top industry accolade
The Journal
|October 15, 2025
A CHIC hotel bringing an extra touch of five-star indulgence to a North East market town is in the running for an international award just a few months after its launch.
As previously reported, The Bailiffgate Hotel in Northumberland opened at the end of May, transforming a former Georgian schoolhouse in Alnwick into a stunning 48-room luxury haven, with the aim of attracting new tourism to the town.
And the hotel, bringing new life into the old Duchess High School overlooking Alnwick Castle, has certainly made an entrance. It has now come to the attention of the world-renowned Conde Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence, making the shortlist in the 'best new property' category which is now open to vote.
