A hotel in Douglas has been voted the Isle of Man's leading hotel for the third year in a row.

The Claremont scooped the accolade as part of the World Travel Awards for 2016.

The awards were established in 1993 and acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all sectors of the tourism industry.
