The Atlantic Hotel has been awarded first place in the Royal Jersey Agricultural & Horticultural Society’s 2026 All Island Garden Competition.
The hotel topped the Gardens Attached to a Hotel or Guest House category, scoring 94.5 out of 100 and receiving the John Le Sueur Rose Bowl.
Surrounded by the protected landscape of Les Mielles and overlooking St Ouen’s Bay, the hotel’s grounds feature mature planting, seasonal displays and lawns overlooking Jersey’s west coast.
The award recognises the work of Head Gardener John Taylor and his assistant, Nick Le Luan, who maintain the grounds throughout the year.
Patrick Burke, Owner of The Atlantic Hotel, said: “We see ourselves as custodians of this remarkable place. Caring for the gardens isn’t simply about appearance; it’s about preserving the character of this special corner of Jersey for our guests to enjoy today and for many years to come.
“John and Nick work tirelessly throughout the year, and this recognition from the Royal Jersey Agricultural & Horticultural Society is a wonderful reflection of the care, knowledge and pride they bring to maintaining our grounds. Everyone at the hotel is incredibly proud of what they have achieved.”
