Holiday Inn, Winchester

The brief was to provide an open lobby concept to reception and add a spa with 5 treatment rooms, pool, sauna and steam room along with a gym. Within the open lobby there is a new fine dining restaurant which has been assigned to be operated by Odyssey Restaurant, a brand currently operating at the Hilton Garden Inn at Birmingham Airport, where we have recently completed the interior design of public areas.

The hotel is only 7 years old and services and construction are good. The challenge here was to adapt the existing building to bring all the guest public areas into the open lobby, creating a space within the existing shell for the spa and gym whilst maintaining compliance with the brand standard.
