Hotel Wrexham relaunches amid £250k refurb

Hotel Wrexham officially relaunched on Friday 28 June as it set to undergo a £250k refurbishment programme.

It comes as its renaming celebration was attended by The Lady Mayoress of Wrexham, Councillor Beryl Blackmore – who performed the unveiling of a ceremonial plaque – along with over 200 local residents and members of Wrexham’s business and sporting community.

The 37-bedroom roadside hotel, formerly known as Holt Lodge Hotel, will undergo a transformation programme over the next few months, due for completion in late 2024. The hotel will remain open while the upgrade of all 37 rooms takes place, along with the refurbishment of the main function suite, which will make the venue one of the leading hotel, food and beverage destinations in the area.

As part of the hotel’s redevelopment, the new owners are introducing a new food and beverage brand, called The Savvy Fox Pub, set to officially open in September.

Hotel Wrexham’s owners, hotelier Steven Hesketh and Daniel Gillon, cofounder and managing director of Onyx Real Estate Liverpool, said they were “delighted” to see that so many of Wrexham’s business leaders and sports stars had come along to find out more about their plans for the venue.

Hesketh said: “On this special night, we thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to give our VIP guests a sneak peak of what is to come, with a tour of some of the bedrooms and revealing more details of our plans for the main function suite too. The night was just a teaser for what the future holds for our new hotel, and we can’t wait to share it with the local community.

“We’d also like to thank Wrexham Lager and the Think Wine Group for all our delicious drinks on the night.”

Hotel Wrexham is set in approximately 7.18 acres of land, located on Wrexham Road, between the village of Holt and the city of Wrexham, just five minutes from the city centre.
