We got married at the Hodson Bay Hotel 2 months ago. Our wedding went so seamlessly and this was largely due to this wonderful venue and its first rate staff. We made a long weekend of our wedding. Bridal party dinner the night before, wedding day and stayed again the night after. While the hotel setting itself is great, it is the staff that standout and made our time so wonderful. From the moment we initiated our wedding preparations to the time we left post-wedding, the various team leads worked together strongly and seamlessly to create a wonderful experience for us and our families. Not only were the bridal party attended to but we had the most lovely feedback from the elderly at our wedding and those with young children. At the Hodson Bay Hotel, both the experienced older staff and younger staff were on point with everything and so accommodating.
Elaine Cormican, wedding coordinator, was outstanding from first meeting to finish. Considerate, experienced, professional - she was always a few steps ahead ensuring things were running not only smoothly, but as enjoyable for us as possible. We are so very thankful to her.
Michael was superb in his role as head of service. Approachable and keenly working with his wonderful team to ensure service ran without fault. His junior, Conor, was notably great in his role – helpful and attentive.
The food was really delicious, was received in a timely professional way, and was highly complimented by our guests.
William in reservations was a pleasure to work with in handling the different reservations needs and Johnny (GM) was always watchful and ensured we received what we needed.
The facilities are super! Something for everyone. A lot of our guests took their kids to the pool. Some used the sauna the day after the wedding to recover. As bride, we had a salon to ourselves to prepare in with adjoining room wherein a beautiful breakfast was laid out while getting ready.
We cannot recommend this hotel and their staff highly enough. We celebrated our wedding over 3 nights and cannot fault our experience in any way.

Exceptional service & friendliness yet again on another stay in HB. Have to mention in particular Ella C in bookings & Manuel, the restaurant manager, both of whom go way beyond expectations as regards service delivery. Staff like this are the face of the company & give it its good reputation. And the food is also amazing. Tks everyone

What an amazing team at Hodson Bay Hotel and Spa. The staff hospitality was topclass. If you have never experienced a Spa please don't miss this excellent opportunity to totally relax 100% worth it.
We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed every moment. The rooms were wonderfully spacious. The food was delicious. The ruburb créme brulee for dessert was a delight.
Thank you Timi and all the staff in L'escale Restaurant for making us feel so at home, enjoy Rick Astley ♡
