A new boutique hotel has opened in Bedford, on the site of the old Shakespeare Hotel, as the new owners bid to bring ‘a bit of excitement’ to the town’s hotel scene.
The now-called Verve Hotel on Shakespeare Road opened last month following a £500,000 transformation that saw its interiors given a ‘London-inspired’ makeover and the property become a sleek, modern boutique.
The new-look hotel is home to 23 bedrooms, a garden, a bar and dining room, plus a large function room.
Speaking to Bedfordshire on Sunday, manager Milena Horrocks added: “We want to bring a bit of the big city, without the big city prices, and we are excited for the people of Bedford to come down and see what we have here.”
