Hotel in Tunbridge Wells to get makeover
The Royal Wells Hotel, located at Mount Ephraim in Tunbridge Wells, looks set for a multi-million pound makeover courtesy of the Shepherd Neame Brewery.
Shepherd Neame purchased the hotel, which enjoys Grade II listed status, in 2012 and the refurbishment will be the company’s most ambitious renovation project yet.
The Royal Wells boasts stunning views thanks to its setting on the top of a hill, and is also conveniently situated for the town centre – a combination that has made it a very popular place to stay for both business travellers and tourists.
Renovations are expected to take 15 weeks and will see major changes made to the hotel, including turning the existing restaurant into an orangery, the construction of an outdoor garden dining area and a complete revamp of the reception – allowing guests easier access to the main bar.
Once this work is finished, Shepherd Neame will have the option of using brochure printers in Tunbridge Wells to showcase the new facilities.
The chief executive of Shepherd Neame said:
The hotel is set to close temporarily to allow renovations to be completed, with the reopening planned for April.
