The Scottish Hotel Awards 2012 were held in Glasgow, Scotland, on May 20, 2012, with awards for the best hotels in Scotland.
The Scottish Hotel of the Year award went to The Chester Residence, in Edinburgh, Scotland. The awards were distributed in ten categories, covering everything from housekeeping and food and beverages, to customer satisfaction, progress and growth.
