Saffire wins Hotel of the Year 2011 and Gourmet Traveller Award
17-Aug-2011 | World Architecture News, a website for the global architectural community, has awarded Saffire Freycinet on Tasmania’s east coast as winner of the Hotel of the Year 2011.
The stunning design of this luxury coastal sanctuary by Circa Architecture impressed the judges for capturing the essence of the unique region (more information here).Saffire also recently won a coveted Australian Gourmet Traveller Magazine Travel Award for 'Best New Hotel, Resort or Lodge 2011'. Saffire came runner-up in the 'Best Hotel or Resort Dining 2011' category as well. Here’s what Gourmet Traveller had to say:
“That show stopping view across Great Oyster Bay to the granite hulk of the Hazards and beyond is enough to arouse wanderlust in the most sensible of souls. Dream location aside, Saffire’s other strong qualities are its size – just 20 luxurious suites among the peppermint gums - and sweeping architecture.” - Australian Gourmet Traveller Magazine.
These awards add more high profile accolades to Saffire's ever-growing list. For more details on the awards and accolades Saffire has won since opening last June, click here.
Tasmania also won two other Gourmet Traveller Magazine Travel Awards this year:
Standout Australian Travel Experience - MONA
“Hobart millionaire David Walsh, iconoclastic owner of the Museum of Old and New Art, successfully dazzles and defies the conventions of gallery going with his fantastic new museum on the fringe of the Tasmanian capital. The Fender Katsalidis-designed fortress of rusted steel fused onto primitive sandstone feels like a metaphor for Walsh’s eclectic private art collection (reputedly the nation’s largest) that marries ancient artefacts with bracingly modern installations. So keenly awaited and so feverishly hyped, since opening in January MONA has proved itself to be that rare commodity among Australian attractions = an instant success, an international drawcard and a growing source of national pride.” - Australian Gourmet Traveller Magazine.
