Robin Sheppard

Bespoke Hotels

Robin has been a hotelier for more than 40 years winning many Hotel/Hotelier of the Year awards.

In 2000 he co-founded Bespoke Hotels, which has grown into the UK’s largest independent hotel group with more than 200 properties, including the multi-award winning Hotel Gotham. Most recently he won the Hotel Catey and the Oxford Brookes awards for Outstanding Contribution to the Hospitality Industry. His greatest achievement, though, has been to fight back from GBS, a totally paralysing illness. His relative recovery inspired him to launch the Bespoke Access Awards in conjunction with RIBA at the House of Lords, encouraging better design and empathy from architects and interior designers.
