£1.5m revamp of hotel pushes ahead

THE seccond phase of a £1.5m refurbishment of the Best Western Cresta Court hotel in Altrincham, Greater Manchester has begun.

General manager Paul Hindley said its 14 executive bedrooms are being upgraded with a design using colourways of mink and teal and will be available for travellers in early 2016.

The transformation is the second part of an investment programme in the hotel which started 18 months ago with changes to the majority of its guestrooms, Townfields bar and reception area.  

Suzanne Dickson, from Forest Contract, the company undertaking the design of the bedrooms, said: “We wanted to continue the distinctive design that was started in the bar area throughout the Hotel and the new colourways in the bedrooms are classic tones that will ensure guests have a peaceful night’s sleep.  

“The rooms are accessorised with metallic and faux leather furniture, giving a classic yet contemporary feel.”

The hotel is also upgrading its bridal suite and adding a specially designed photography area in the garden.  It is also planning to complete the last elements of its meeting room refit, with the addition of new carpeting.

The design led overhaul has also reached the exterior of the hotel with a new planting scheme and an upgrade to the exterior of the hotel’s reception.  Corridor redecoration is being completed and new signage added.

Plans are also in the early stages for a refit of the Detorris restaurant.

Hindley said: “The initial refurbishment helped increase footfall and the second stage is set to build on that further. 

“The new interior design of the bedrooms brings with it a warm, relaxing environment that we know our guests will love.  The updated corridors and signage add to the new look.”
