Middletons Hotel based in central York and part of the nationwide group of hotels, spas and inns, Daniel Thwaites, has unveiled the results of its recent refurbishment.
The four-star property, which is home to 56 bedrooms within five listed buildings, has unveiled new looks at 18 of its bedrooms, as well as an upgrade to its public spaces.
The hotel focused its latest renovation project on the Grade II listed Lady Anne building which saw its air-conditioning, windows and insulation refurbished or replaced.
The hotel’s interiors are inspired by the history of the property and have been designed by interior designer Rachel Wootton.
Middletons Hotel said that the investment in the building, erected in 1829 as Anne Middletons Hospital, now reflects its Georgian heritage, “preserving and restoring the architectural and historic interest of the listed building”.
The Heritage Suite and House Suite rooms have all been given a “modern” and “luxurious” look, while Cosy Rooms reflect wildlife-inspired décor found in the nearby courtyard garden.
It also features medicinal plant design details which link back to the heritage of the house.
The latest project to be completed within this extensive Middletons renovation programme, the Lady Anne building was transformed by building contractor Murray and Willis.
Additionally, local York-based tradespersons were also employed for painting and decorating work as well as electrical works.
As part of the project, the hotel donated around 185 pieces of furniture to St Leonards Hospice’s shops, including mattresses, dressing tables, and mirrors.
Adam Wardale, general manager at Middletons Hotel, said: “We’re incredibly proud that another phase of our long-term restoration plan is complete, having restored the historic Lady Anne building back to its former glory.
“We’ve worked closely alongside our team of interior designers and contractors to not only bring the property back to life by incorporating design elements in keeping with the building’s unique heritage and history, but we’ve also included all the small details and hotel comforts to make sure our guests have a perfect stay.”
