The refurbishment will take place in several phases, allowing the hotel and significant numbers of bedrooms to remain open and capable of servicing the needs of guests throughout the process.
In April 2018, Loughborough based Imago Venues will start the first phase of a multi-million pound refurbishment of the 186 bedrooms in Burleigh Court, the portfolio’s flagship four star hotel and conference centre.
Using feedback and data gathered from clients on their experiences in pilot bedrooms, the refurbishment will see all 186 rooms modernised with new decor, furniture, furnishings and updated shower rooms.
The refurbishment will take place in several phases, allowing the hotel and significant numbers of bedrooms to remain open and capable of servicing the needs of guests throughout the process.
“We are continually investing in our product and offering, to ensure it remains not just fit for purpose but industry leading,” comments Hayley Hardy, senior business development manager at Imago Venues. “Our bedrooms have always been comfortable with all the facilities you would expect from a good quality four-star hotel but we want them to have a more luxurious and contemporary feel. Fantastic service and great people sit at the heart of our offering and we want to ensure our product reflects that level of quality long into the future.”
The investment reflects Imago Venues’ ongoing commitment to improvements across the portfolio. Future investments include £150,000 to be spent at Holywell Park on new AV and a refurbishment to the ground floor spaces. Imago Venues also has plans to upgrade the conference and meeting facilities in Burleigh Court.
