Mansion Hotel & Spa Ranks 5th Best Hotel in Australia in the 2014 Gold List Awards

The Lancemore Group

Multiple mentions in the top ten for the Lancemore Group in the Annual Luxury Travel Magazine Gold List Awards

For the third year running, the Lancemore Group was nominated in multiple categories for the prestigious Luxury Travel Magazine Gold List Awards, with the Mansion Hotel and Lindenderry at Red Hill making finalists, and ranking four times in the top ten across a number of categories.

The “Gold List” Awards are the result of the most comprehensive luxury travel survey ever undertaken by an Australian magazine, and they are widely viewed as Australia's premier luxury travel awards. Tens of thousands of subscribers and readers are asked to nominate the world's best hotels, resorts, spas, cruise lines, golf courses, airlines and destinations – across 34 categories.

This year, the Lancemore Group nominations included;

  • Best Australian Hotel - Mansion Hotel and Spa

  • Best Australian property within driving distance of the CBD – Mansion Hotel and Spa

  • Best Australian boutique property, villa or lodge – Lindenderry Red Hill

  • Best Australian property within driving distance of the CBD – Lindenderry Red Hill

    The Lancemore Group is proud to announce that the Mansion Hotel ranked fifth on the impressive list of Australia's best hotels. The Mansion Hotel also ranked sixth in the best Australian property in driving distance of the city.

    Our second finalist for the Lancemore Group was the renowned Lindenderry at Red Hill. Lindenderry was ranked eighth in Best Australian Property within driving distance of the city and tenth for Best Australian Boutique property, villa or lodge.

    So, if you're looking for a day-trip out of Melbourne or a weekend away, the Mansion Hotel and Lindenderry come highly recommended by the Luxury Travel Magazine readership.

    “Attaining prominent rankings in these awards is such an honour because the votes are coming from the people who are staying in our properties across Australia.  We're smaller than a lot of the top ten mentions in these awards, and I believe that we have a very strong position at the boutique end of luxury accommodation options in Australia. We exist to give our customers the ultimate experience of luxury, so it's such compliment to be formally appreciated and validated by our customers. Pleasing our customers is ultimate goal,” Says Julian Clark, Lancemore CEO.

    Each of the four Lancemore Boutique Properties in Victoria has a unique offering in some of the state's most picturesque corners. The Lancemore Group is consistently strengthening its credentials, recently acquiring Alamanda resort in Palm Cove. Alamanda is the fifth boutique hotel in the Lancemore suite, and is the first outside of Victoria. Alamanda is the only absolute beachfront accommodation available in the whole of Palm Cove, and coupled with tropical gardens and the multi-award winning day-spa, it too, could be a strong contender in the awards next year.
