Summary: For the second year running Sunday Woman magazine is launching their London Hotel Awards and will be soon compiling a shortlist. They are currently looking for hotels, spas and clinics to review in London.

Sunday Woman Magazine is entering the second year of their London Hotel Awards. The magazine is known for its reviews of days out, restaurants, beauty products and clinics and is now reviewing hotels and destinations across the globe.

Sunday Woman is a magazine for successful women over 30. It fills a gap in the market for parents, career women and busy ladies who know there’s more to life than childcare, work and recipes.

The sections of the magazine focus on travel, sex and relationships, careers, beauty, psychology, real life, parenting and food, each with a grown up twist and with the busy career woman or mum in mind.

Martina Mercer, the editor of Sunday Woman Magazine explains why it fills a gap in the market, she says, “As a busy working mum I could find no magazine on the shelf that appreciated my lifestyle. The magazines available forgot that I was still interested in sex post partum, and assumed I’d simply want watered down content that would also be suitable for children. Just because I’m a parent, it doesn’t mean I’m not an individual too, I’m still a strong woman, with my own mind and identity and I need a magazine that appreciates this, rather than dressing me in florals or making me feel excluded as they target the twenty something market. I always say we’re not Cosmo or Good Housekeeping, we’re somewhere in between and we’re definitely not for children.”

The Hotel Awards focus on romantic breaks, spa breaks and luxury hotels for girly weekends or trips with a partner (no children). The sister site, The Consumer Voice reviews family holidays and destinations, and PR agents are invited to pitch their to join the many reviews for days out, self catering holidays and family holiday reviews.

Hotels in London are invited to apply for entry to become the best London Hotel of 2016 as voted for by Sunday Woman Magazine.

The winner will receive their own plaque to display in the reception along with a badge online, press releases and online mentions. They’ll also receive a full page review alongside photographs and video blogs live from the venue. Two people will stay in the hotel overnight to review, assessing all aspects from comfort to facilities and food.

The list already includes many London Hotels submitted by readers and since reviewed by Sunday Woman reviewers. Sunday Woman is now inviting entries before the London Hotel Awards closing date of 15th June. Any entries after this date will carry forward into the London Hotel Awards of 2017.
