Dooley’s Hotel Waterford is proud to announce that it has been awarded Tourist Hotel of the Year – Bronze at the highly respected Gold Medal Hotel Awards, one of Ireland’s most prestigious hospitality award programmes. 

The accolade recognises excellence across all areas of hotel operations, including customer service, guest experience, accommodation standards and overall management. The Tourist Hotel of the Year category celebrates hotels that consistently deliver high-quality service while providing visitors with an outstanding and memorable stay.

The Gold Medal Hotel Awards are independently judged and widely regarded as a benchmark of excellence within the Irish 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.

This latest achievement further strengthens the hotel’s reputation as a trusted choice for leisure travellers, group tours and business guests alike, and underlines its ongoing commitment to quality, innovation and guest care.
