AHA NSW CEO John Whelan said the winners represented the best and brightest in the industry.
“These hotels range from mum and dad operations in the most remote parts of the state to multi-level entertainment precincts in our nation’s greatest city,” Whelan said.
“They directly employ 72,000 people, raise millions of dollars for charity each and every year, and add $6.8 billion in value to the NSW economy.
