Donegal hotel owners and staff took a well-earned night off on Monday to enjoy the Donegal branch of the Irish Hotels Federation Ball.
The annual event is a glamourous celebration of the local hospitality industry and a chance for friends, colleagues and industry figures to catch up and look forward to the year ahead.
This year’s event was held in Harvey’s Point, where guests enjoyed a glitzy night of outstanding food, drink and entertainment.
Noel Cunningham received a special honour from the Donegal IHF for his contribution to the tourism industry in Donegal. Fresh from his 70th birthday celebrations, Noel continues to work as an ambassador for Harvey’s Point, as well as keeping up his regular appearances across the national media.
The Donegal Branch Employee of the Year Award went to Gabriela Rodrigues, Sous Chef at the Clanree Hotel.
