The St. Davids Hotel and Spa is the flagship hotel of the Principal Hayley group, which consists of a growing collection of over 20 hotels, including some new European additions. Each hotel carries the style and professional service promoted by Principal Hayley, and each occupies either a central city location or a soothing countryside setting. Here is a small selection of the other accommodation choices offered by the group:
Beaumont House, Old Windsor
Beaumont House combines the needs of a premier conference venue and a leisure hotel within an appealing country estate on the outside Windsor. On joining the Principal-Hayley group Beaumont House underwent a substantial refurbishment to bring the facilities up to date. At present the hotel offers 330 plush bedrooms ideal for business or leisure guests and a staggering 75 event suites, and the hotel is continuing to expand both accommodation and conference facilities. Beaumont House is found in the scenic surroundings of Old Windsor, less than three miles from the regal town of Windsor. Family days out at Legoland or Chessington World of adventures are only a short drive away, and Heathrow Airport is also within easy reach.
Cranage Hall, South Manchester
Cranage Hall is another country estate venue, and is an appealingly historic manor in the Cheshire countryside. The city of Manchester is within easy reach of the hotel, as are several major attractions including Alton Towers and Chester Zoo. Following a substantial investment Cranage Hall has been reinvented as a superior four-star conference venue and weekend break destination. There are 150 rooms on offer, including 10 executive rooms, all richly decorated in warm brown shades. The hotel is also home to The Club health facilities, which are ideal for those enjoying a weekend away or business guests taking a break from the hotel’s conference and team building amenities.
La Mola, Barcelona
La Mola Hotel is one of the most recent Principal Hayley venues to open; it began to welcome guests from the end of 2008 and joins Chateau Saint Just in Paris as the first European members of the collection. La Mola is set next to a natural park in Terrassa and is situated approximately 30 minutes from Barcelona, Spain’s second city. From its position in the countryside the hotel has a vast area of meeting and event space spanning more than 4,000 square metres. It is also adjacent to a golf course and so guests looking to relax over a round of golf have the perfect opportunity to do so.
The Met, Leeds
The Met is a great city centre hotel close to the most popular areas of Leeds, including the business area, the shopping of Victoria Quarter and well-known visitor attractions such as the Royal Armouries. The interior of the hotel has received a £6million overhaul and has been thoroughly modernised, although the décor remains attractively influenced by the grade II listed building’s period origins. The fresh atmosphere is most evident in the Contemporary bedrooms, Tempus Restaurant and Bar and the Met Suite, centrepiece of the Metropole Hotel’s conferencing facilities.
The Selsdon Park Hotel, South Croydon
The Selsdon Park Hotel is a beautifully restored historic estate in Surrey, with 200 comfortable and well-appointed standard or executive rooms. Its acres and acres of peaceful grounds are far removed from the smoke and noise of London, which is only 13 miles north of the hotel. The parkland also holds the Selsdon Park’s own Golf Club and 18-hole course, making the hotel a very popular destination for weekend breaks. Golf widows can comfort themselves with the hotel’s Leisure Centre, with squash and tennis courts, swimming pool and spa facilities. The grounds also lend themselves well to corporate team building events.
