Reading, Berkshire, December 12th, 2025:
Adding spectacular delight and fervour to the overriding festive spirit, The Roseate Reading, a luxurious 5-star townhouse hotel in Reading, was recently awarded two distinguished silver awards at the ‘Beautiful South Tourism Awards 2025’ that recognise exceptional businesses across South East England.
An extraordinary feat and an ode to its commitment towards immaculate service, hospitality, and refined guest experiences, the hotel was recently awarded ‘Large Hotel of the Year’ and its iconic restaurant & bar, The Reading Room, befittingly won the ‘Restaurant of the Year’ award.
Originally the Shire Hall, The Roseate Reading is a timeless blend of elegance and contemporary design. It features 50 individually styled bedrooms & suites, a state-of-the-art spa & wellness centre, and an award-winning restaurant – The Reading Room Restaurant & Bar, quite a hidden jewel, opulent, stylish, and well known for deeply sensorial all-day dining experiences.
On this joyful occasion, Fran Downton, Chief Executive of Tourism South East, said, “Congratulations to all of last night’s winners. It was a pleasure to celebrate the hard work, professionalism, and commitment across our region. The South East continues to set a high bar, and everyone recognised should feel incredibly proud.”
