The Claremont Hotel, has announced a further ?1m investment in a series of new executive suites and an upgrade to its conference and banqueting facilities.

This follows an earlier ?2.0m investment in the hotel during 2012-2013 which saw the Claremont firmly established as the Island’s top business visitor accommodation, attracting a raft of highly prestigious industry awards.

Work will begin later this year on the new suites which will each feature a separate lounge as well as a luxury bedroom space. The interiors have been developed by the same European architects, Bernreider, Sieweke-Lagemann Architekten of Berlin, who designed the hotel’s striking new entrance, reception and premium lounge areas.

The new executive suites will include luxury fittings, hypoallergenic finishes, super-king sized beds with Tempur® pressure relieving mattresses, Hungarian goose down pillows, Amazon waterfall-style showers and a range of Aveda® botanical toiletries.

Guests will enjoy full connectivity with Smart TVs, multi-media desk and complimentary superfast broadband from a dedicated 100mps hotel connection.

Each suite is expected to feature a bespoke mural reflecting an iconic Isle of Man image.

Work to completely renovate the hotel’s existing conference and banqueting facilities will also be undertaken in an additional phase to follow.

Mark Wilson, Managing Director of Sleepwell Hotels, commented: “This investment is further proof of our unwavering commitment to providing the best business hotel facilities on the Isle of Man. We have consistently sought to raise the bar with regard to the Island’s hospitality proposition so that we are competing on a par with the top brands in international commercial centres around the world.

“Our vision for the Claremont has been to provide all the comfort of a luxurious environment with the excellent customer experience today’s corporate travellers expect. Our investment to date on realising this vision has been recognised across the industry and we are immensely proud of our place as the premier luxury business hotel on the Isle of Man.”

The Claremont has picked up a large number of quality awards in the past few years, most recently the World Travel Awards Isle of Man’s Leading Hotel 2015, the VisitEngland Gold Award, a 2015 Certificate of Excellence from Trip Advisor and the 2015 Isle of Man Newspapers Award for Excellence in Customer Service. The hotel has also received plaudits from Bloomberg and has been listed in the UK and Ireland Michelin Guide for the last 3 years.

Mark Wilson added: “These accolades are not only rewarding for everyone who has worked to develop the Claremont into such an exceptional hotel of choice, but we also hope reflect very positively upon the wider Isle of Man and its position as an international business hub.

“Local businesses can be assured that their visiting colleagues, customers and potential investors will have a high quality experience comparable to, and in many cases superior to, other jurisdictions and will leave with a favourable view of the Island’s hospitality sector that helps to enhance the reputation of the Isle of Man far and wide.”
