The Royal Albion Hotel undergoes £500k refurb
The refurbishment included a major renovation of the restaurant area on the ground floor, including restoring the wooden floors and redecorating throughout with a ‘contemporary coastal feel’
Shepherd Neame has completed a £500,000 refurbishment of The Royal Albion Hotel in the Kentish seaside town of Broadstairs.
The seafront hotel remained open while the 10-week project took place. The refurbishment included a major renovation of the restaurant area on the ground floor, including restoring the wooden floors and redecorating throughout with a “contemporary coastal feel”.
The fixed booth seating has been removed and “stylish” tables and chairs have been introduced.
Five of the hotel’s 21 en-suite bedrooms have also undergone a complete transformation. The rooms – one Luxury, three Superior Doubles, and one Standard Double – all have brand new furniture and décor, and new luxury bathrooms including drench showers.
The Royal Albion dates back to 1776, and care has been taken with the design to ensure that each room retains its own “unique” style and character.
The five rooms all feature balconies offering sea views, and these spaces have also been refurbished, with new wicker furniture, a luxury 2000 pocket-sprung Ambassador mattress, Dyson fan, Roberts digital radio and Nespresso coffee machine in each room, along with a flat screen Smart TV and complimentary WiFi.
Marc Duvauchelle, general manager at The Royal Albion Hotel, said: “We are absolutely delighted with the finished results of this project, and have already received great feedback from customers.
“Our refurbished rooms really offer a premium experience for guests, and the investment in the restaurant has ensured that we make the most of our hotel’s fantastic seafront location.”
