We are spoilt for choice in NSW when it comes to exceptional hotels. That said, to stand out, to be the best, indeed a ‘winner’, you must be above and beyond on all levels – your housekeeping, your OH&S, community endeavours, right through to your bar, spa and restaurants. The Tourism Accommodation Australia awards for NSW salute those at the very peak of their game.
