The Inn Collection Group has announced the names for its two new sites in Ripon and Harrogate in Yorkshire.
The site in Ripon, formerly known as The Ripon Spa hotel will be known as the Ripon Inn. The property was acquired by ICG in June 2021.
The Ripon site has 43 bedrooms and has been closed to guests since July 2020. It is currently undergoing a construction programme which is seeing the hotel undergo extensive internal and external works.
Once complete, the refurbished guest accommodation at The Ripon Inn will be varied and will provide a mix of double, twin and family bedrooms, accessible rooms, suites, and dog friendly rooms.
It will see an additional 15 en-suite rooms created and will see a reconfiguration across the ground floor areas with a full new bar and kitchen area constructed.
The Harrogate site was formerly the Hotel St George and will now be known as The Harrogate Inn when it reopens in the summer.
The refurbishment at The Harrogate Inn will see six new bedrooms added on the ground floor as well as a complete transformation of the venue’s hospitality spaces, providing new drinking and dining facilities both internally and externally, with new jobs being created across both sites.
Zoe Cooper, marketing manager, said: “We’re excited to confirm the new identity of The Ripon Inn and The Harrogate Inn. “As with the new names we have unveiled for other sites recently, including The Knaresborough Inn, we have looked to embrace the history of the wider area and we hope the new look will create a talking point that serves as a link to the past while the site embarks on an exciting future.
“With both sites we have adopted the name of the locale for the property, which allows us to introduce its setting more easily for potential visitors who may be considering a stay, allowing them to look further into what all these fantastic places have to offer.”
In keeping with the brand style for the company, both venues have had a new coat of arms created that embrace iconography synonymous with the locations in which they are sited.
