UK Hilton hotels get £20m face-lift

Hilton Worldwide is beginning a £20m refurbishment programme across 16 of its UK properties, including the launch of a new lounge concept called The Space.

Due to open first at Hilton Newbury North in March 2010, The Space will replace the traditional restaurant, lounge and bar area with an airport executive lounge-style area across the entire ground floor of the hotel.

Work on the refurbishments – to include bedrooms, bars, restaurants and public areas – is due to be completed by 2011. All the hotels undergoing improvements are owned by private investor Igal Ahouvi and partners.

“As hoteliers, our focus is on delivering exceptional guest experiences, and we are thrilled that Mr Ahouvi is helping us achieve that goal with this investment programme,” said Simon Vincent, area president of Europe for Hilton Worldwide. 

“It will radically improve the quality of the hotel, and in the new lounge concept, we’re demonstrating innovation aimed at enhancing the guest experience.”
