Grantley Hall has been shortlisted for two RICS Awards 2020!
The transformation of the Grantley Hall Hotel and Wellness Retreat is one of 35 schemes in Yorkshire that have been nominated for two Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) awards 2020.
Shortlisted in the categories of Heritage and Leisure, The magnificent Grantley Hall opened in the summer of 2019 as one of the UK’s most luxurious hotels and spas in the UK. This five-star country retreat is the only member of Relais & Châteaux in Yorkshire, was named ‘Best Newcomer 2020’ by Conde Nast and labelled the second-best new luxury hotel in the world by Luxury Travel Intelligence.
Bowman Riley helped transform the elegant Grade II* listed Grantley Hall into one of the UK’s finest country hotels surrounded by 30 acres of beautiful Yorkshire countryside in Ripon. Our team of architects and our principal designer worked alongside Lucas Lee, GHD, two main contractors RN Wooler & Co and HACS and numerous other consultants and subcontractors to make the Grantley Hall vision a reality.
The RICS Yorkshire and the Humber award ceremony and black-tie dinner takes place on 5 June 2020 at the Centenary Pavilion at Elland Road in Leeds. The awards are divided into nine categories – commercial, education, healthcare, heritage, infrastructure, land and rural, leisure, residential and student accommodation sectors – with an overall winner also due to be announced.
Matthew Howell, the managing director of RICS UK, said:
“This year’s shortlist features some of the best talent in our profession, and the new Social Impact Awards recognises the significant value these projects have brought to the communities around them. The judges will have their work cut out deciding on who gets the top award with so many top projects involved.”
A national grand final will be held later in September for those successfully nominated from each region – with property expert David Brooks Wilson leading a panel of guest judges to select those projects worthy of the top award.
