Cabinet Office: Hotels

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 24 February 2026UIN 111288

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many nights were spent in hotels by Departmental staff in financial year 2024-25 by the star rating of the hotel.

Answered by Chris Ward

The Cabinet Office does not record individual hotel star ratings.

This is because the Cabinet Office’s travel policy prioritises specific amenities, like a workspace, and safety requirements within fixed nightly rate ceilings rather than subjective commercial gradings.
