A hotel chain, which grew its roots in Boston won Best Accommodation Operator at The Morning Advertiser Publican Awards 2025, held on Wednesday 26th March 2025.
The Coaching Inn Group, which owns and operates The White Hart Hotel, and also retains its central management office in the town centre, has grown its portfolio of historic coaching inns over the last 25+ years and now operates over 30 luxury hotels across England and Wales.
Facing some excellent competition from well respected names in hospitality, the group managed to come out on top, and take home the honour, with the award presented by Claudia Winkleman.
Speaking of the win, COO, Adam Charity said “The Publican Awards recognise the best of the best in this industry. To be named a finalist in not one, but two categories was a huge honour. To win Best Accommodation Operator with an extremely competitive list of finalists is simply amazing. This is for everyone at The Coaching Inn Group. Your skill and hard work has won us this award. Thank you very much”.
This award is a testament to the group’s values, and their long standing ethos of ‘Hospitality From The Heart’. No individual won this award, collectively, as a strong, collective of people, working towards the same goal, the group state they did this together.
The Coaching Inn Group were also a finalist for ‘Best Pub Employer‘, and whilst not winning this time, are still extremely proud to be a finalist in that category, and it’s motivated them even more for next year.
A spokesperson for the group said: “We’ve got a whole host of initiatives in store for our amazing teams, more apprenticeships, more training & development programmes, more opportunities, all in the name of continuing to create a culture of excellence.
So, what’s next? Well, that’d be MORE AWARDS! The next awards ceremony you’ll hear about, is the 2025 edition of The Coaching Inn Group Awards. Emanating from The Engine Shed, Lincoln, we gather as a team, to celebrate a year of achievement, excellence, to acknowledge the very best in our company, and to party like only hospitality workers know how!”
