£6m destination spa planned for Rudding Park Hotel Spa & Golf
The privately-owned Rudding Park Hotel Spa & Golf in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, has unveiled plans to build a £6m destination spa to widen its visitor appeal.
“We have to keep up,” Peter Banks, managing director of Rudding Park Hotel Spa & Golf, told Spa Opportunities. “We are one of the best hotels in the country and the spa will ensure we stay competitive.”
The new build will incorporate a 17m (56ft) pool, hydrotherapy pool, 10 treatment rooms and three different heat treatment cabins.
“We are currently working with our architects [Horsley & Feather] and Harrogate Planning Department to finalise the plans for the spa,” said Banks.
Plans will be submitted in May with a view to commencing work in 2015.
The hotel’s current spa is located in the £8m Follifoot Wing, built in 2011. It features four treatment rooms, a steamroom, monsoon showers and a hammam. Skincare products used in the existing spa are by Spiezia, Carita and Aromatherapy Associates.
The Follifoot Wing also features a 14-seat private cinema, gym and 48 bedrooms. The popularity of the on-site leisure facilities have led to the decision to create a new spa.
“This wing has resulted in a change to our business mix,” said Banks. “The leisure segment accounts for 40 per cent of our total business, as opposed to 15 per cent prior to the development.”
The hotel, which is gearing up to host three teams during the opening stages of the 2014 Tour de France, has just finished the £200,000 refurbishment of its 90-bedroom Grade I-listed Regency house.
