THE Fels Point Hotel Tralee won a Gold Award at the IASI (Irish Accommodation Services Institute) Awards on January 30.
In order to achieve an IASI Gold Award Fels Point Hotel had to achieve a minimum score of 97% during the inspection which inspects guest bedrooms, public areas and bathrooms.
In addition to receiving the Gold Award, Fels Point Hotel was also a runner up in the Supreme Award category out of all the 4 star hotels in Ireland.
This is the first time the hotel – which is currently under refurbishment and will be rebranded to The Rose Hotel in April this year – has won this award, and a great achievement by Cathy Rael, Accommodation Manager, who attended the awards night.

Current renovations are ahead of schedule and the newly renovated reception and lobby will open early February and the bar and restaurant will be fully refurbished by mid-March.
General Manager, Mark Sullivan commented: “We are absolutely thrilled to have received IASI’s Gold Award. It is great recognition of the hard work and high standards that Cathy Rael and her team in the Accommodation Department constantly achieve. We are looking forward to a very exciting year as we relaunch the hotel after a significant refurbishment this Spring and bring the hotel to a four star plus experience. This award is a great start to what is looking like to be a fantastic year, forward bookings are very strong and we are delighted with the feedback from the local market for weddings and functions.”
