Official Opening of the new Westminster Suite at The Chester Grosvenor and Spa

After an intensive refurbishment period of 12 weeks, the Westminster Suite at The Chester Grosvenor is now open.  

Following the extensive cosmetic and technological improvements, the Suite at the five red star hotel and spa opened its doors again on the 4th September and guests have already been astounded; not only by the fresh and original style of the Suite, but also by the incredibly short time scale in which the transformation occured.  

As a result of extensive research into the MICE market, the brief for the popular suite was to ensure multi functionality and sophistication in one contemporary design. The challenge was to create an elegant yet flexible meeting and private dining space and also to ensure the latest intelligent technology was incorporated at all levels of the renovation.   An interesting twist to the construction phase was the ability to be able to view the live progress of the refurbishments via an on-site webcam at www.therefurb.com.   Twelve weeks later, the new suite has exceeded expectations in every way and has succeeded in positioning the conference facilities in the hotel amongst the best in the country, proving a competitive edge not only locally but nationally and internationally.  

Commenting on the recent unveiling, Managing Director, Jonathan Slater said, “To completely renovate and remodel a meetings and events venue of this scale in just 12 weeks was always a daunting prospect, but everyone involved in the project has pulled together to achieve exactly the results we were aiming for. The new Westminster Suite has been extremely well received by our guests and will only add to and improve upon the hotel’s reputation for excellence. ”
