Rave reviews for top Island hotel in national newspapers

Friday 12 June 2015

One of Jersey’s luxury hotels is in the spotlight again having made it into the top 10 seaside hotels in Britain.

The Atlantic Hotel in St Brelade has been given rave reviews by the Telegraph and Sunday Mirror – top marks for its food and a great score for its service.

The Telegraph's Hotel expert Fiona Duncan tucked in to Mark Jordan’s seven course tasting menu during her stay which she says “includes the best oysters, lobster and beef I have ever tasted, plus caviar, truffle and melting foie gras. It was truly memorable.”

She gave the hotel 9/10 for its “stylish, yet timeless” style and character and 8/10 for its location.

The hotel's owner Patrick Burke said: “We are understandably proud to have been selected as one of Britain’s best seaside hotels. This recognition goes beyond just the hotel’s offering as a fundamental part of the guest experience at The Atlantic is its location in Jersey. The spectacular beauty of Jersey provides the perfect setting for our guests, on an island full of charm with unspoilt beaches, outstanding local produce and a rich history. What a fantastic boost for us all as we gear up for the summer season.”

The Telegraph's guide shows the top places for both families and couples to stay in the UK and includes hotels in Cornwall, Brighton, Norfolk, Suffolk, Dorset and the Isle of Wight.

Just weeks ago Mark Jordan, one of the Island's top chefs, was front page news when he starred on the cover of national catering magazine - The Caterer - the weekly mag considered to be the "bible" for hoteliers, restaurateurs, chefs and all those working in the British hospitality industry.
