The first phase of £2.5m refurbishment at the Alderley Edge Hotel in Cheshire has been unveiled by its owners.
A new open plan bar and restaurant has been created by interior designers Carroll Design under the direction of Alderley Edge’s general manager John Scott.
The four-star hotel is owned by the Manchester-based brewery family, JW Lees, and is based inside a former 19th Century country house.
Scott said on the redesign: “Our challenge is to realise the vision of the Lees-Jones family, who own Alderley Edge Hotel and to reinforce the hotel as the best boutique hotel in Cheshire.
“It’s not just about the décor and services but we are aiming to create a modern and welcoming space for people to escape, relax and enjoy beautiful food and drink. It’s a fantastic evolution that has evolved over the 30 years since JW Lees first acquired the hotel.”
Further redevelopment of the hotel is to be complete by Easter 2018 with all of the bedrooms and function rooms given a similar level of investment.
William Lees-Jones, managing director of JW Lees said: “Opening the new bar and restaurant at Alderley Edge Hotel is our first major investment in our 190th year. Alderley Edge Hotel is our most prized asset and it is our aim to be best in class, with a flagship hotel that we can be very proud of.
“JW Lees is a lot more than a just a brewery and our investment in hotels and inns continued to grow with major developments planned for 2018.”
