Conference centre signs JV to bring forward £135,000 rooms upgrade
The Derby Conference Centre has signed a partnership with OYO Hotels and Homes UK which means their hotel bedrooms will undergo a £135,000 upgrade.
The partnership came after The Derby Conference Centre was looking to invest in its self-catering accommodation India House and turn it into a hotel block.
Matt Hutchings, the managing director at the centre approached OYO for the franchise partnership. Although this is not the direction both parties decided to go down, a franchise partnership was formed for the main Portland House Hotel to become an OYO Hotel and after £135,000 of investment the hotel rooms will each be refurbished.
Hutchings said: “I was so excited to announce the OYO Hotel for The Derby Conference Centre, I think it’s a step in the right direction for our rebrand as it’ll be something completely different to what we have now – we can’t wait to see and share the outcome.”
