Ryder Cup venue secures major boost ahead of £100m makeover

The Belfry

Ryder Cup golfing venue The Belfry has been named England’s leading conference venue in a public vote.

The Belfry Hotel & Resort was also named England’s Leading Resort at the World Travel Awards Europe, which were held in St. Petersburg.

The awards are a feather in the cap for the hotel ahead of its proposed £100m makeover.

Katie Niland, sales director at The Belfry, said: “We’d like to thank everyone who voted for The Belfry Hotel & Resort this year. It is exceptionally rewarding to have been named England’s Leading Conference Resort. It really is a testament to the hard work and expertise our team put in to each conference.”

The improvements planned for the North Warwickshire venue include a new indoor, self-contained water entertainment area, specifically designed for hotels residents, and a luxury spa facility.

The plans also include proposals for a new 500-seated conference facility – which can hold up to 700 guests for banqueting and ballroom functions – and an additional 112 hotel bedrooms.

The Belfry Hotel & Resort owner KSL Capital Partners has appointed national planning and development consultancy Lichfields to progress the application on its behalf.

The intention is to develop and improve on The Belfry’s current offering making the hotel and resort more attractive to families.

Work could begin early next year.
