Hand Picked Hotels has completed a £2m refurbishment programme of its AA Four Silver Star L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa in Jersey.

The renovation extends to the hotel bedrooms, function spaces, lounge areas and spa at the island’s beachfront hotel.

All 106 guestrooms and suites at the hotel have been refreshed, and new electronic key systems and reverse-cycle air conditioning have been installed, allowing touch-of-button access and temperature control.

The hotel’s primary function suite, The Crystal Room – which can accommodate up to 300 guests – and the adjoining Rose Lounge for reception drinks and afternoon teas, have both been updated with refreshed décor designed against a backdrop of floor-to-ceiling windows exposing views out to the sea.

In addition, the impressive Drawing Room, with space for up to 50 guests, has been modernised and now includes an integrated sound system ideal for conferences, meetings and private events.

To complete the upgrade, and to make the most of the glorious Channel Islands sunshine, a new sun terrace has been developed adjacent to the 15m indoor swimming pool, offering new relaxed-style lounge seating.

Further enhancements to the hotel’s health club and spa include upgraded changing rooms and new power showers.

Simon Miller, general manager at L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa, commented, “At L’Horizon, we are fortunate to occupy one of the most impressive spots on the island and proud to have built a solid reputation as the leading hotel in Jersey for beachside relaxation and special events that ‘wow’ our guests. I am delighted this refurbishment programme is now complete, providing an enhanced offering for our valued guests that allows them to make the most of the sunshine we have here in Jersey and the unique views from our hotel.”

L’Horizon was originally built in 1850 by George Hicks, a colonel in the Benhal Army, and today the hotel has 106 bedrooms and a purpose-built state-of-the-art health club and spa with an indoor pool, a sleep room and six treatment rooms offering Elemis beauty and holistic therapies.
