DUBLIN, IRELAND--(Marketwired - Aug 21, 2013) - The secret behind the success at The Shelbourne Dublin, A Renaissance Hotel could be accredited to a variety of things, from its beautiful historic details to its convenient location in the heart of the city centre. The most obvious element, however, is the luxury Dublin hotel's staff, a winning team that was recently recognised at Marriott's 2012 Europe Awards.
The annual awards celebrate "the calibre, talent, results and quality of Renaissance and Marriott hotels and staff, and [recognise] passion for performance and commitment to excellence." This five-star Dublin hotel was recognised three times at this year's ceremony as the Best Renaissance Hotel Europe 2012, General Manager of the Year Europe 2012 and Best Sales & Marketing Team Europe 2012.
The wins for this Dublin hotel near the National Gallery came under the leadership of general manager Stephen Hanley and director of sales and marketing Yvonne Donohue.
"I am very proud that The Shelbourne has been awarded Best Renaissance Hotel in Europe for the first time," Hanley says. "This is an incredible achievement considering the standard of the properties across the brand, and it is undeniably a testament to our whole team at The Shelbourne, who are dedicated to creating excellence every day. Each and every member of staff contributes to our success, and being awarded Best Hotel in Europe, Best General Manager and Sales & Marketing Team of the Year 2012 is a huge source of pride for us all at The Shelbourne."
The Shelbourne has a winning tradition, as its executive chef Garry Hughes won Renaissance Culinary Excellence Global Chef of the Year last October, a major acknowledgement of his great technical skills and culinary expertise.
