Michelin reveals 2024 Great Britain and Ireland hotel restaurant winners

In a ceremony held at The Midland in Supper’s hometown of Manchester, The Michelin Guide unveiled its latest round of hospitality spots for 2024, with an impressive 10 hotel restaurants among the winners.

While most of the new Two Star restaurants are promotions from One Star, Brooklands by Claude Bosi at The Peninsula London has the distinction of entering straight into the guide with Two Stars. Perched atop The Peninsula London overlooking Belgravia, the aviation and automotive-inspired eatery serves up overtly seasonal dishes, prepared by Francesco Dibenetto, that showcase British ingredients at their best.

“To create a new experience with Francesco and our incredible team that now holds two Michelin Stars is a proud moment for us all,” says Bosi, reflecting on the big win. “This restaurant epitomises our dedication to hospitality and our continued strive for innovation, so it means a lot to have been recognised for the hard work. Thank you to the team at The Peninsula London for giving us the freedom to create, and the most beautiful space in which to let our food shine.”

In Ireland, County Cork has another Two Star restaurant to add to its roster, in the form of Castlemartyr’s Terre. After being awarded their first Star last year, Vincent Crepel and his chefs have made quick work of taking themselves to the next level thanks to original, modern dishes with well-judged contrasts that allow the quality of the ingredients to shine.

Meanwhile, a whole host of hotel restaurants have received their first Michelin Star this year, including Shinji Kanesaka’s eponymous omakase counter inside Dorchester Collection’s 45 Park Lane. Head Chef Hirotaka Wada works behind the hinoki wood counter, crafting an omakase menu with highlights such as squid nigiri. “The experience is greatly enhanced by the impeccable service and the simple, authentic décor that gives you the feeling of dining in Japan,” says the Guide.

Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane plays host to the now One Star Pavyllon outpost from renowned French Chef Yannick Alléno. Executed by Head Chef Banjamin Ferra Y Castell, Alleno’s cuisine is French in base but incorporates global influences from North Africa to Japan, resulting in excitingly original dishes.

Hrishikesh Desai has been awarded a Michelin Star once again, having previously held the distinction for six years at the now-closed HRiSHi at Gilpin Hotel & Lake House. Now based at Cedar Tree inside Farlam Hall Hotel in northernmost Cumbria, Hrishikesh’s Indian heritage influences the menu of dishes that are deftly spiced and technically precise. Quality produce forms the basis of the cooking, which also displays sophistication and strong depth of flavour. The refurbished country house setting adds an air of elegance to proceedings.

Flemings Mayfair’s Ormer has earned a Michelin Star thanks to its strong, classically based cooking with hints of modernity. Executive Chef Sofian Msetfi took over the kitchen in 2021, and his hard work over the last couple of years has been richly rewarded. The Guide Inspectors were impressed with the precision and high level of technical skill across the dishes.

Inside Cashel Palace Hotel, Head Chef Stefan McEnteer and his team have crafted a menu of dishes that demonstrate great skill in their execution, along with terrific flavours and balance. The Guide comments: “There is detail and care in the cooking, but plates are never overworked, instead allowing the top quality Irish ingredients to do the heavy lifting.”

The Savoy’s tribute to Escoffier, 1890 by Gordon Ramsay, also scooped a Star, alongside Crocadon in St Mellion and Myse in Hovingham.
