Hotel Openings

If there’s one thing we can be sure of it’s that 2021 is the year of the staycation. Not only because of the uncertainty surrounding travel but because of environmental concerns, increased convenience, supporting the local economy and cost. 

In fact, findings from Snaptrip say staycation bookings have increased by 87% in West Sussex, by 60% in Lancashire and by 57% in Cheshire. There’s also been a surge in the number of group bookings for June and July, with group bookings of 10 and 12 increasing by up to 88%.  

If you’re looking for somewhere new to stay next time you’re in the capital on business or leisure, or you’re planning a group incentive to somewhere nobody will have been before, keep reading for our top 5 UK hotel openings coming soon… 

Fairmont Windsor Park, Egham 

Opening in Summer 2021, this beautiful hotel is the perfect place for a couple of days away. Located within an hour of London, it’s easily accessible but as soon as you set foot in their 40 acres of land you could be anywhere in the country. There are multiple bars and restaurants onsite, spa and wellness facilities and a range of meeting rooms to accommodate any group size.  

Reservations available from 1st August 2021.  

Artist Residence, Bristol  

For something a little bit different, the Artist Residence’s collection of boutique hotels are always top of the list. Their hotels in Brighton, London, Oxfordshire and Penzance are popular favourites so we’re eagerly anticipating their new opening in Bristol. We’ve only seen a glimpse of the interior so far but if their other hotels are anything to go off, we know it’s going to be spectacular.  

The Yard, Bath 

Another boutique hotel, The Yard in Bath has fourteen characterful bedrooms set around a historical courtyard. In a city known for its upscale independent shops, quirky pubs and abundance of restaurants, this hotel is the perfect place to soak it all up.  

Gleneagles Townhouse, Edinburgh  

Gleneagles needs no introduction but the Gleneagles Townhouse will be their first city hotel with an all-day restaurant, roof terrace and members club. You can expect the same timeless charm and ultimate level of luxury Gleneagles is famous for but with the city of Edinburgh and everything it has to offer on your door step. Coming this autumn, there aren’t any photos to share just yet but stay tuned… 

The Lost Poet, Notting Hill 

Coming soon to the vibrant streets of Notting Hill, The Lost Poet is a quaint and quirky place to stay with just four beautifully curated bedrooms. Each room has a distinct character, setting it apart from traditional hotels whilst still offering all of the modern amenities any guest would need.
