Carden Park Hotel has launched a £6.5m refurbishment of its 197 bedrooms, with 20 rooms already completed and 40% set for completion by spring 2025. The refurbishment will integrate energy-efficient technologies with a “fresh” new interior design, with the rooms designed in keeping with the other bright and contemporary spaces found throughout the hotel.
Their design is said to draw inspiration from the hotel’s countryside location, as well as the “calming wellness elements” of the Spa at Carden.
The rooms are complete with locally made, walnut-crafted detailing and British made Wilton carpet, as well as in-room facilities such as a Nespresso coffee machine, Chromecast interactive TVs, Noble Isle toiletries and air conditioning.
The £6.5m room refurbishment also includes a “significant” investment in eco-friendly initiatives, such as a full rooftop Plant Room overhaul, extensive use of PV solar panels, air source heat pumps in courtyard rooms and energy-efficient air conditioning throughout the main hotel. The installation of a “state-of-the-art” air conditioning system in each room is expected to yield a 50% reduction in energy consumption.
Hamish Ferguson, director and general manager of Carden Park Hotel, said: “The overhaul of our hotel bedrooms marks a significant chapter in Carden Park Hotel’s journey.
“We are thrilled to embark on this exciting project to enhance our luxury accommodation, reinforcing our commitment to providing an exceptional and rejuvenating experience for our guests. Sustainability has been at the forefront of all previous renovations at the hotel, and we endeavour to continue this trajectory in all future transformation projects.”
As well as the bedroom refurbishment, the hotel recently unveiled its £500k refurbished conference space, The Carden Suite. The new event space, which now features a modern bar, can seat up to 400.
The hotel kickstarted its series of investment projects in 2020 when it opened its £10 destination spa, The Spa at Carden, which is home to one of the UK’s largest spa gardens.
Later that year, the opening of Vertigo at Carden, a high-ropes assault course added to the ‘Pursuits’ element of the business, and the arrival of fine dining restaurant The Vines, and Goldies Lounge, added to Carden Park’s F&B offering.
