Doors are now open on the new Crowne Plaza Hotel at Heythrop Park, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. The 50 million pound property boasts 197 new bedroom wing, a Diarmuid Gavin-designed, Moroccan-style courtyard and a cocktail bar, lounge restaurant and spa which opened for business at the end of last year with AMS manufacturing and installing the bedroom case good furniture.The scheme is radically different for a Crowne Plaza Hotel, using white high pressure laminates, Corian tops and bespoke buttoned detailed headboards in the luxurious Kavadrat fabric.
The client at Firoka Hotel Group had a vision of whites, lilacs and soft undertones of silvers and bronze colours for the bedroom scheme which offers a relaxing atmosphere to the rooms.
The furniture had to be specially manufactured for bespoke rooms and suites and had to have careful consideration taken for the longevity of the white gloss finish in such a high use contract environment.
The rooms have proved popular with guests and initial feedback on the finished product has been excellent.
The new build Crowne Plaza hotel runs alongside the existing 153-room Heythrop Park Hotel, an 18-hole golf course, a contemporary health club, four restaurants and bars, and a conference centre with capacity for 450 delegates.
