Countrywide Hotels appointed to manage Orida Hotels Newbury

Countrywide Hotels has been appointed to manage Orida Hotels Newbury, formerly known as DoubleTree by Hilton Newbury North.

The 113-bedroom hotel, which will trade as Orida Hotels Newbury, is the latest addition to the Orida Hotels portfolio.

Other properties include Orida Hotels Maidstone, Holiday Inn Maidstone – Sevenoaks, and three golf courses in the South East of England.

Located just off Junction 13 of the M4, Orida Hotels Newbury is an “ideal” base for both business and leisure travellers visiting Newbury and the wider county of Berkshire.

Leisure guests can enjoy convenient access to local attractions such as Highclere Castle, Donnington Castle, and the Newbury Racecourse.

Meanwhile, the hotel offers a variety of meeting and event spaces, perfect for business conferences, training sessions, and social gatherings.

With modern, fully equipped rooms accommodating up to 100 guests, the hotel provides high-speed Wi-Fi, audiovisual equipment, and dedicated event planning support.

In addition, the hotel group will soon be launching Orida Health, providing both hotel guests and local residents with access to an on-site swimming pool, gym, steam room, and sauna. The health club will continue to offer memberships and a variety of fitness classes.

Darren Patt, managing director of Countrywide Hotels, said: “The acquisition of the former Double Tree by Hilton, now to be rebranded Orid Hotels Newbury, is an exciting next step for both Countrywide Hotels and Orida Hotels.

“Following the success of our long-term partnership—particularly with Orida Hotels Maidstone—we are eager to bring the same values, service, and operational excellence to Newbury. With its fantastic location, versatile facilities, and experienced team, we look forward to enhancing the guest experience and maximizing the hotel’s potential.”
