The Isle of Man’s only Four-Star Gold standard hotel, the Claremont, is investing a further ?750,000 into the development of a second generation of suites for executive business visitors, enhancing its reputation as the hotel destination of choice for travellers to the Island.

This latest phase of work, which has already begun and is expected to be completed by June, will see an additional series of rooms upgraded to luxurious executive suites, each featuring integrated multimedia work spaces, luxury bathrooms and separate lounge areas.
Combining contemporary styling with the hotel’s original Victorian architecture, the design by German architects Bernrieder Sieweke Lagemann includes feature walls with full length images of local scenes from the late 19th century, sourced directly from Manx National Heritage archives.

A rich decor and, sumptuous furnishings will be complimented with bespoke joinery prepared in Berlin and fitted on-site by leading cabinet makers Tischlerei Rodde & Friedrichsmeyer. Each suite will also incorporate a spacious wet room with walk-in amazon shower, super king beds, Tempur® mattresses, 40 inch smart TVs, Nespresso coffee machines and personal mini fridge. Work desks will feature integral USB charger points alongside integrated European and US sockets specifically for international guests.

The new suites represent a further stage in the ongoing multi-million pound refurbishment of the Claremont, underway since 2013 and already resulting in a number of prestigious awards including Bloomberg TV Hotel Design, Word Travel Awards and a recently retained listing in the respected Michelin GB and Ireland guidebook.

Mark Wilson, Managing Director of Sleepwell Hotels which owns the Claremont, said the investment was part of a continued commitment to providing the very best standards for international business visitors to the Island:

“We operate in an increasingly competitive hotel market and one with evolving visitor demands. Business guests visiting the Isle of Man quite rightly have the same expectations as when visiting any other international centre of commerce and as such our on-going investment in the guest facilities at the Claremont will ensure a stay in the Isle of Man will give them the same, if not higher, levels of comfort, sophistication and connectivity as they would enjoy in any business jurisdiction elsewhere.

“Our local partners and businesses can also have renewed confidence that the Claremont continues to offer the leading hotel option for their visiting business colleagues and professional associates; one that will also positively enhance the reputation of the Isle of Man as a forward-thinking financial and commercial centre of excellence’’.
