Winner: Tad Janeczek of Chilston Park Hotel, Kent
Runner Up: Anna Lupton of Carr House Farm B&B, York

The winner and the runner up of the Mitre Linen Room Attendant of the Year Award 2018 have been named.

Finishing the competition in runner up, and receiving £500 Mitre Linen voucher was Anna Lupton of Carr House Farm B&B, York. ““I am so excited to accept this award and feel incredibly proud,” said Lupton. “It’s really important to me that our guests have a fantastic experience when they stay here and I like to ensure that the rooms are perfect.  If I can offer something a little extra to make their stay even better, then that’s what I will do.”

Taking the crown, though, of the Mitre Linen’s Room Attendent of the Year and winning the top prize of £750 Mitre Linen voucher was Tad Janeczek of Chilston Park Hotel, Kent. “I love working at Chilston Park Hotel, the team here are absolutely fantastic,” said Janeczek. “Working as a room attendant is an amazing career and I really enjoy making our guests feel welcome and ensuring that they have the best experience when they stay with us.  Winning this award is just incredible and I am truly thrilled.”

Mark Lewis, CEO of Hospitality Action, had the “unbelievably difficult” task of determining the winner and runner up between the six finalists. “I was thoroughly impressed with all of the entries received, the standard of housekeeping was incredible and a credit to all of the establishments who nominated a room attendant,” Lewis said at the awards. “Tad and Anna impressed me with their overall dedication to their profession and their continuous strive to achieve perfection for their guests.”

The 2018 Room Attendant of the Year Awards give well-deserved recognition to this key role as a part of the smooth running of a hotel. A hotel’s room attendants help maintain the good reputation of the hotel where they work by providing high-quality service and upholding impeccable room standards.
