SimpsInns’ Waterside Hotel in West Kilbride has won the title of ‘Best 4 Star Hotel’ in the region at this year’s Prestige Hotel Awards.
Since opening its doors in 2013, The Waterside has established itself as one of the region’s leading leisure and wedding venues, with an idyllic sea-front location, and views over the Firth of Clyde towards the Isle of Arran from the water’s edge.
The Irvine-based Simpson family is the driving force behind SimpsInns, which owns and operates a collection of award-winning hotels, restaurants, bars, spa, golf, and leisure activities along the Ayrshire coast. As well as The Waterside, it has The Gailes Hotel & Spa in Irvine, and Old Loans Inn at Troon.
Malcolm Simpson said: “Here at SimpsInns, we always go the extra mile to make sure our guests have the best experience at The Waterside, so it means the world to us to have been named ‘Best 4 Star Hotel (South)’ at The Prestige Hotel Awards 2024.
“This latest national award for The Waterside is a true reflection of the hard work and dedication our entire team put in every day to look after our guests and for them to keep coming back.”
Continued investment has been a key strategy for the growth of Simpsinns over the last three years, with over £4 million invested across the group. The company recently announced plans to open a new sea view spa, first floor resident gym and 17 extra guest rooms at The Waterside in 2024. The new spa will feature an indoor sauna and steam room, spa lounge and an outdoor hydro pool.
