The Rosedon Hotel picked up an honour at the Boutique Hotel Awards in London.

The Pembroke venue was named The America’s Best Classic Elegance Hotel at the Merchant Taylors’ Hall last Thursday.

Owners Lee Petty and Scott Kitson said they spent two years transforming the hotel from an old-school bed and breakfast into a boutique hotel.

They said in a statement: “This award is great recognition of all of the hard work and dedication of the entire team at Rosedon Hotel.

“We are extremely honoured to have had Nagma Walker join the Rosedon team as general manager in early 2018 and under her leadership we have made tremendous strides elevating our service standards.”

As part of the transition, the hotel opened Huckleberry Restaurant in its historic main house under manager Rob Bruni.
