Two Hawke's Bay hospitality venues are finalists in this year's Hospitality New Zealand Awards for Excellence. The Art Deco Masonic Hotel in Napier is a Best New/Redeveloped Accommodation Hotel finalist and the Sawyers Arms in Tikokino is finalist in Best Country Hotel category.
Hospitality New Zealand CEO Bruce Robertson said both venues shared outstanding levels of service, professionalism, passion and enthusiasm.
"They are a proud reflection of where the cutting edge of New Zealand's hospitality industry is moving - delivering consumers service standards which are the equal of anywhere in the world."
Winners at Hospitality New Zealand Awards for Excellence will be announced at the organisation's national conference in Rotorua on September 17 and 18.
