Following the announcement, Mike Cantlay, Chairman of VisitScotland, commented: 

Great customer service is an important part of the visitor experience and something that should be celebrated. Scotland is renowned for its great hospitality and our warm welcome is one of the many reasons that people come to this country.

"It is fantastic to see that three Scottish hotels are among the best in Europe in terms of offering exceptional service and I hope that their success will inspire others. What is particularly pleasing is that these accolades are the result of reviews and opinions from millions of visitors via the website TripAdvisor".
