Brisbane House reopens following extensive makeover

Brisbane House in Largs has reopened with a brand-new look following an extensive refurbishment that was completed over winter. 

All areas of the boutique hotel have been refurbished including a duplex honeymoon suite with private balcony, a dedicated wedding prep room, and an upgraded glass-front function suite with doors that slide open to an extended terrace boasting panoramic views of the Clyde. 

The 17 guest bedrooms throughout the property have been refurbished to create “modern and relaxing spaces”. Guests staying will also enjoy breakfast and seaside views, all within a short walk of the bars, cafes and restaurants Largs has to offer.

A new addition is The Caledonian Suite, a two floor suite with luxurious finishes. The suite, which includes a spa bath, private bar with complimentary cocktails and steam room shower, opens out to an exclusive-use balcony that overlooks Largs bay and the Clyde. In addition to being included in all wedding packages, the suite will be available to book up to 3 months in advance for special occasions.

The hotel’s Brisbane Suite has also been upgraded. The space has new lighting and décor, and to make the most of the setting, the terrace to the front has been extended, and the glass front changed to large sliding doors so that it can open to the outside. 

David Tracey, managing director at Manorview said: “Largs has such stunning scenery, and Brisbane House has a great location on the front. We took every possible opportunity during the refurb to make the most of those views – as we know our guests will absolutely love it too!”

Last year, Manorview confirmed that couples who book weddings at Brisbane House will now get full run of the venue, as it will be exclusive use on their wedding day.

The former restaurant in the hotel building has been turned into The Cochrane Suite – a dedicated drinks reception space for weddings, with a bar, outdoor terrace with views, and mixed seating. 

The Wallace Suite is also brand new. With an en-suite shower room, sofa, smart tv, bar area and three dedicated dressing tables with large mirrors, the suite has been designed especially as a wedding prep room. The room has natural light with two large windows overlooking the Clyde.

Outside, locals using the Brisbane for celebrations, hotel guests and wedding guests will all enjoy a larger terrace and a newly landscaped front garden featuring wooden pergolas and lined with palm trees, all looking on to the Clyde.

Susan Spence, group wedding and events manager at Manorview said: “We are so excited to finally unveil the upgrades to our existing couples, and those who come to view the venue. A great amount of detail and effort has gone into creating a space that works for every aspect of the day – from wedding prep to ceremony, drinks, meal and reception. Brisbane House is a fantastic choice for those looking for a waterside wedding, and we can’t wait to host special days here.”

Tracey added: “We can’t wait for guests from near and far to come and see the new space for themselves. We are proud to be a part of the Largs tourism landscape, and alongside our neighbouring businesses, remain committed to showcasing what a great place Largs is to both live in and visit.”
