Latest UK developments: Principal Hayley is a group that is continually looking for ways to grow and develop. From a small group of 6 hotels, they have grown to 23, and are continually investing in the collection with over £100million spent since 2005. As part of this renovation programme the Grand Connaught Rooms in London, having undergone a £7 million transformation, is now recognised as one of London’s most stylish and innovative event, banqueting and conference venues. The Grand Central hotel in Glasgow is also enjoying a return to prestigious status having been restored to its former glory and re-opened last year. Principal Hayley has also introduced their acclaimed Tempus Bar & Restaurant concept across the group in the last year, bringing a fresh and contemporary dining experience to our guests and delegates.
