"Bishop’s Gate Hotel has greatly enhanced Derry’s tourism and hospitality product. Since it opened in March 2016 the restored building has attracted thousands of visitors, many coming to finally ‘get inside’ the landmark building which had been off limits for so long. The hotel has bucked the trend for smaller, start-up businesses in the tourism sector, winning “Hideaway of the Year 2017” and taking second place in the entire UK in the coveted TripAdvisor ‘Travellers’ Choice Award."
