A good hotel means much more than just a bed for the night. Extra touches and thoughtful management can turn an overnight stay into a memorable minibreak. LateRooms.com wants to find these extra-special places to stay, with the launch of the annual Best-Kept Secret Awards for the hotel industry.

The awards include categories such as Best Breakfast, Comfiest Bed, Best View, Best Eco Credentials, Best Gadgets, Best Interiors and Best Dining, Best Service, Best Spa and Best Gardens.

“Building on their huge success last year, we are delighted that the Best Kept Secret Awards are back”, comments Lynda Matthews, LateRooms.com’s Offline Marketing Manager. “They’re a great way of rewarding some of the UK’s best hotels that are working hard to provide services and facilities for our customers’ every need. 2011’s winners were an eclectic bunch and we’re looking forward to unveiling some more fantastic properties with a helping hand from the people that have loved staying in them!”
