Australian Hotels Association awards

Sam GROTH (Nepean) (13:07): Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Australian Hotels Association awards, celebrating the very best in the industry right across Victoria, and I just want to acknowledge those establishments on the Mornington Peninsula that were recognised with either a finalist or award winners in their category. Congratulations to the Continental Sorrento, who were awarded Best Hotel Restaurant, Metropolitan, for Audrey’s, and they were also a finalist in Overall Hotel of the Year, Best Casual Dining, Best Function and Event Space, and Best Marketed Hotel. I want to say congratulations to the team at the Hotel Sorrento, who were awarded Best Hotel Accommodation as well as being a finalist also in the Overall Hotel of the Year; individual Excellence in Service, for Terry; Best Presented Beer – tastes good too, trust me, I promise you; and Best Pub Bar, Metropolitan. Also congratulations to the Portsea Hotel, who were nominated for Best Marketed Hotel. I encourage all those people right around the state and other members in this chamber: come down and check out those establishments, and whether you want to stay the night, get a good feed or just come for a frothy with Grothy, feel free to let me know when you are coming down.
