The five-star Culloden Estate & Spa in Holywood has completed a £600,000 upgrade and debuted a refreshed visual brand identity.
Guests to the destination will notice the results of the renovation programme as they step through the doors thanks to a complete re-carpeting of the ground floor including the hotel’s iconic staircase.
The intimate Drawing Room events space has undergone a complete renovation boasting a beautifully modern colour scheme, new soft furnishings and the ornate plaster ceiling has been lovingly restored. The refreshed design now exposes the original carpentry on the feature windows.
And the Lough Bar has also been upgraded with striking fabrics and furnishings, while five of the Culloden’s prestigious suites have been renewed with luxury bathrooms, furnishings and fabrics.
Extensive work has also been carried out on the grounds across the estate which have been fitted with upgraded pedestrian accesses, and a new lighting scheme throughout.
A new gym and equipment have been installed in The Spa at Culloden while a significant investment has been made to introduce new spa treatments and equipment.
The Cultra Inn has been fitted with a new energy efficient kitchen equipment and fixtures and fittings throughout. Patrons’ dogs are now welcome to relax in the luxurious dog-beds whilst their humans enjoy the new seasonal menus, including the recently launched breakfast menu to give guests an all day dining option.
The Culloden has worked with a host of local companies in the transformation project including Ulster Carpets and Amanda Ramsey of IFD, Ashvale Landscapes, Stothers Electrical and Graham Construction.
James McGinn, managing director of Hastings Hotels, said: “Attention to detail was a key focus for us in this latest renovation programme.
“While much of the investment has been made in areas that are not visible to guests, the renewal of the furnishings, fittings and fabrics right across the property are strikingly obvious, and we are absolutely delighted with the results.
“I can proudly say that the hotel, spa and Cultra Inn are all looking the best they’ve ever looked.”
