Warner Leisure Hotels, the award-winning hotel group renowned for its short break leisure holidays, has been nominated in four separate categories in the prestigious British Travel Awards 2009/2010, including Best Leisure Hotel Chain and Best UK/Domestic Tour Operator.

These nominations recognise the wide range of choices provided by the group's six historic hotels, three character hotels and four coastal resorts exclusively for adults across all of its activities, from rooms and dining to leisure activities, which are combined with affordable luxury and a friendly, informal and sociable atmosphere.

Warner's Experiences also get a special mention this year, with a nomination in the Best Special Interest/Adventure Tour Operator category. Experiences are additional activities which can be added to a stay for a small supplement. Currently the group has over 600 on offer, ranging from traditional hot air balloon trips, numerous dance breaks, antiques with Eric Knowles and painting to the quirkier Psychic School With the Psychic Sisters, Walking With Llamas and beekeeping for beginners.

The fourth nomination is particularly special for Warner Leisure Hotels, with Thoresby Hall Hotel and Spa, one of its flagship hotels, being singled out in the category for Best UK Boutique (or individual) Hotel. This magnificent mansion overlooks a stunning Capability Brown view with fabulous gardens of over 40 acres, a state of the art spa and three restaurants which offer a wide range of cuisine from cosmopolitan and Italian, to fine dining. With leisure facilities comprising a fitness centre and indoor pool and live entertainment every night, guests rarely want to venture outside of the hotel and gardens.
