Patrick Burke, owner and Managing Director of The Atlantic Hotel, has been named Hotelier of the Month by Independent Hotel Show London.
The national recognition celebrates those who make significant contributions to the independent hospitality sector, and Mr Burke’s longstanding leadership and “unwavering dedication” to both The Atlantic Hotel and the island’s visitor economy were central to his selection.
The Atlantic recently hosted the Independent Hotel Show team in Jersey, where they interviewed Mr Burke.
He shared The Atlantic’s story, reflected on the evolution of the business and shined a spotlight on Jersey as a luxury travel destination.
Mr Burke said: “Our challenge has always been getting people to come to Jersey for the first time, not getting them to return, because once they’ve been, they love the hotel, they love the island, and they realise just how much depth there is here.”
Commenting on his recognition, the Atlantic owner said: “It’s an honour to be recognised by the Independent Hotel Show.
“I’m passionate about both The Atlantic and Jersey, and it was a real pleasure to speak about our family’s journey and what makes this island such a special place for visitors.”
