The latest phase of a multi-million pound development is set to be unveiled at Ramside Hall Hotel this spring – with the promise it will be fit for a president.The hotel, located near Durham, is set to open its new accommodation wing in April, which will feature 47 premier rooms.

And the hotel is also creating what is believed to be the largest and most luxurious Presidential Suite in the region, complete with a seven feet wide bed and a free standing copper bath.

The suite, which will have windows with panoramic views across the surrounding area, will feature a large dining and bedroom area, a dressing room, the copper bath and an additional bathroom.

“It will be something very special for the North East,” said hotel owner, John Adamson.

The new wing will also include two family rooms and two junior suites, giving guests a wide variety of options.

The 47 premier rooms can be configured as either doubles or twins, some with Juliet balconies overlooking Ramside’s championship golf course.

All of them have luxury bathrooms with a walk-in shower and free standing baths and are furnished with Hypnos beds, favoured by royalty and widely regarded as the most comfortable beds in the world.

“We have done everything possible to ensure our guests have a memorable and comfortable stay in luxurious surroundings,” said Mr Adamson.

The new wing is part of a £16m development at Ramside Hall, which includes the creation of a second championship golf course which opened last year.

The final stage will be the opening of the Spa at Ramside Hall in July, which will make the hotel one of the top destination hotels in the region.

The state-of-the-art facilities include a 25m pool, a vitality pool, external infinity pool and a spa garden along with a variety of steam rooms, saunas and a Rasul mud chamber.

It also includes a gym, aerobics and dance studio, hair salon, Asian restaurant and bar and a 12 treatment rooms using ESPA products.
