The Headland, a five-star hotel in Newquay, Cornwall, has unveiled two new exclusive Ocean View Suites, as part of an ongoing renovation programme.
The suites are the work of interior designer Jennie Trethewy, who met hotel owners John and Carolyn Armstrong to discuss the alterations last November.
The two new suites feature a “bold mix of colour, pattern and texture, combining an impressive mix of antique furniture finds with bright and contrasting new fabrics”. The new Ocean View Suites also offer “extensive” views of the Atlantic Ocean.
The suites form part of a two-year investment programme, with a quarter of the rooms and suites already having been renovated, the hotel revealed it has plans in the pipeline to renovate all 88 rooms, as well as The Samphire restaurant.
Joshua Jay-Bates, hotel operations manager, said: “In converting four rooms into two Ocean View Suites, we have reduced our quantity but increased our quality of service. We have created two new suites and also renovated the Honeymoon Suite as part of the first phase – as a result of their popularity we will soon start a second phase.”
Trethway said: “We had a lovely first meeting chatting about the history of the building, the family’s aspirations for the future of the hotel and the forthcoming interior renovations. With a background in luxury 5-star hotel and spa design in the UK and internationally, I was instantly excited to work with the family on such an iconic project in my home county.”
