Future Inn Cardiff Wins TripAdvisor 2023 Travelers’ Choice Award

Future Inn Cardiff Bay has been awarded the 2023 Travelers' Choice® Award for the fourth year running, cementing our place among travellers' favourite places to stay. Future Inns is in the top 10% of hotels worldwide.

TripAdvisor Awards 2023

Travel and tourism have faced significant challenges over the last three years. During the pandemic lockdown, those who stayed at the hotel were only allowed to do so for work, hospital appointments, schooling and self-isolation. As that lifted, travel was limited, and there were new rules for dining, social distancing and how many were allowed to stay.

Like all households, this year has had significant rises in utilities, food and transport. Visitor attractions, hotels, restaurants, and many city locations have experienced reduced footfall as many continue to work from home, and business travel has been replaced with online meetings. 

However, it's not all doom and gloom, as research suggests that 69% of UK adults plan to take an overnight domestic trip sometime in the next 12 months. With the staycation breaks remaining popular for couples and families. And when looking to book that break, businesses with top reviews – like Future Inn Cardiff – are where they want to stay.

TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards 2023

The TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Awards celebrates hotels that consistently deliver fantastic experiences. Winners are those who have gained consistent traveller reviews and ratings over the past year. 

Future Inn Cardiff has been recognised as a 2023 Travellers' Choice Award Winner. The coveted award celebrates businesses that have consistently received great traveller reviews on TripAdvisor over the last 12 months, placing these winners among the 10% of all listings on TripAdvisor globally. As challenging as the past year has been, Future Inns has consistently delighted our guests.

"Congratulations to the 2023 TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice winners," said John Boris, Chief Growth Officer at TripAdvisor. "The travel resurgence we've seen throughout the past year has even further heightened the competition. Earning a Travellers' Choice Award demonstrates that you have provided great experiences to those who matter most: your guests. With changing expectations, continued labour shortages, and rising costs, this is no easy feat. I am continually impressed with the hospitality industry's resilience and ability to adapt. Cheers to another successful year!"
