The Holiday Inn Gosforth Park has undergone a £3.5 million refurbishment including the introduction of a new innovative venture, The Open Lobby.
The refurbishment intends to better suit the needs of the hotel’s business and leisure guests by focussing on the five things that they like to do most, Eat and Drink, Have Fun, Relax and Connect sounds good right?
It gets better, the space will make it easier to transition between all of those things. The Open Lobby will provide free Wi-Fi, charging ports, computers and a wireless printer in their new E-Bar as well as a Media Lounge which will house seating, games, magazines and a TV. Designed to look like a laid-back living room, it’s the perfect home away from home.
Within the Open Lobby, there will be a range of seating areas including high and low tables, soft seating and booths and a number of food options will be available, including the favourite buffet breakfast, featuring a new addition of delicious pancakes.
Norrie Oswald, the General Manager of hotel for the past seven years, gave us a little more insight into the upgrade: “There are sofas to relax in whether catching up with friends over a coffee or taking time out with your loved ones. All of the menus have also been refreshed and we now have an All-Day Dining Menu to choose from or snacks and treats from the To Go Café, where we proudly serve Starbucks.
As well as the contemporary Open Lobby venture, the £3.5 million refurbishment has taken effect on all 151 rooms in the hotel updating every bathroom and seeing three quarters of the rooms completed with new fixtures and fittings including air conditioning. Book us in!
