A luxury hotel on the outskirts of Chester is well under way with a huge £6.5 million investment.
The Carden Park Hotel is transforming its 197 bedrooms, integrating energy-efficient technologies with a fresh new interior design. A total of 20 rooms have been fully refurbished as of this month, with 40 per cent of all bedrooms to be completed by spring 2025.
The newly refurbished rooms have been designed in keeping with the other bright and contemporary spaces found throughout the hotel, featuring blue and green interior themes. The design draws inspiration from the hotel’s countryside location, as well as the calming wellness elements of the award-winning Spa at Carden.
Carden Park Hotel has launched a £6.5 million refurbishment of its 197 bedrooms.
Rooms are complete with locally made, walnut-crafted detailing and British-made Wilton carpet, as well as the latest in-room facilities such as a Nespresso coffee machine, Chromecast interactive TVs, Noble Isle toiletries and air conditioning.
The extensive £6.5 million room refurbishment also includes a significant investment in eco-friendly initiatives. The comprehensive refurbishment will include 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; ensuring that every aspect of the project considers the environment and aligns with the hotel’s commitment to sustainability.
Solar panels, air source heat pumps and advanced air conditioning have reduced carden Park's energy consumption by 50 per cent.
The installation of a state-of-the-art air conditioning system in each room is expected to halve energy consumption. In collaboration with Vital Heating Solutions, Carden Park Hotel aims to elevate the overall guest experience while minimising its carbon footprint.
Director and general manager of Carden Park Hotel, Hamish Ferguson, 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 overhaul of the bedrooms, the hotel recently unveiled its £500k refurbished conference space, The Carden Suite. The new event space accommodates a sleek and modern bar, complementing the refurbished ‘Morgan’s Bar’ and elegant reception area of the hotel, creating a seamless and sophisticated ambiance throughout.
Kickstarting the hotel’s series of investment projects, in 2020 the hotel opened its £10 million destination spa, The Spa at Carden. Later that year, the opening of Vertigo at Carden, a white knuckle high-ropes assault course added to the ‘Pursuits’ element of the business, and the arrival of the new fine dining restaurant The Vines, and Goldies Lounge added to Carden Park’s food and beverage offering. The Vines was recently awarded its third Rosette.
