The Atlantic Hotel named as one of the best hotels in the UK

The Atlantic Hotel has been named as one of the 50 greatest hotels in Britain for summer and also listed in the Caterer’s Hoteliers’ Hotels Top 100.

The attentive, friendly and personal service at the family owned small luxury hotel and its Michelin-starred Ocean Restaurant have been praised by Telegraph Travel’s Britain experts, who named The Atlantic Hotel in their top 50 UK hotels for summer fun, describing the hotel’s tennis court as having ‘what must be one of the most spectacular views of any court in the UK’

Fellow hoteliers have also named the St Brelade hotel in the inaugural Hoteliers’ Hotels Top 100 list, compiled by the UK’s leading hoteliers and verified by some of the nation’s pre-eminent hotel experts, including hotel journalist Fiona Duncan, Giovanna Grossi and fellow AA hotel inspectors, and senior editors at The Caterer. 

‘For The Atlantic Hotel to be named by fellow hoteliers and travel experts as one of the best hotels in Britain is praise indeed,’ said owner and Managing Director, Patrick Burke. ‘Jersey is a fantastic destination for visitors and has some of the best views, activities and food in the British Isles.   With the summer season now in full swing, this coverage comes at a great time and helps us all to spread the word about how the island is becoming a must-go-to destination.’ 

Adam Caerlewy-Smith, Visit Jersey’s Head of Marketing, said: ‘The Atlantic Hotel is a world class hotel and we are delighted to see it recognised in this way.  Jersey is the island break, and offers visitors a really authentic experience’.

In their review of The Atlantic Hotel and Ocean Restaurant, Telegraph Travel described feeling ‘on top of the world’ with a sweeping view of St Ouen’s Bay and the other Channel Islands clear on the horizon. They praised the hotel’s location and six acres of grounds bordering La Moye Golf Course, watching para-gliders while sitting by the pool, and the short distance to St Ouen’s Bay which is popular with surfers and features gastro beach cafes. 

The Hoteliers’ Hotels Top 100 was unveiled by The Caterer magazine and Sky TV. Amanda Afiya, editor of The Caterer, said hoteliers knew their industry and that there was ‘nothing quite as special as peer-to-peer recognition’.
