The combination of historic elegance and exceptional service, Elite Hotels reflects everything I value in hospitality – integrity, attention to detail, communication, collaboration, and respect. I look forward to building on the hotel’s excellent reputation and working alongside a passionate team to deliver the best possible guest experience”.
The hotel offers 106 individually styled bedrooms and suites, dining at the Anderida Restaurant led by head chef Andrew Wilson, and event spaces ideal for weddings and corporate retreats.
Meanwhile, the country club features an 18-hole par-3 golf course, along with an indoor swimming pool, gym, tennis courts, tranquil treatment rooms and a relaxation room.
