A contemporary bar and lounge area is soon set to open its doors at Sketchley Grange Hotel & Spa in Hinckley, Leicestershire.
The popular hotel is currently undertaking a major £1.5m refurbishment programme across its premises, part of which includes a complete makeover of the area.
The vision is to develop an open-plan space, with different areas each offering individual characteristics.
Drew Keen of Keen As Mustard Design Studio is working on the project. He explains: “The lounge will have a softer feel. We want it to be cool but cosy and comfy so we’ve got a palette of steely greys and blacks against pink velvet fabrics.
“For the bar we’re aiming for a warm yet opulent vibe with high poseur tables and high-back arm chairs. This space will have a mix of mustard yellows against bold blacks.”
The bar area will also feature seating booths with televisions which can be linked up to a laptop – ideal for working professionals or for keeping little ones occupied at mealtimes.
Work started at the beginning of April and is expected to be finished in mid-June.
Paul Noble, General Manager of Sketchley Grange, says: “This refurbishment will make Sketchley Grange a really appealing venue for local people to come and enjoy a drink or a meal. The new look will match the good-quality, well-established range of food on offer.”
The bar and lounge will offer a seasonal varied menu to ensure there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes – whether it’s a morning coffee, a light lunch or a delicious evening meal. A comprehensive wine list is also being compiled to offer guests a wealth of choice.
Paul adds: “The new bar and lounge will be open from morning until late, offering the opportunity to relax with a coffee, unwind with a glass of wine or two from our carefully-selected wine list, or indeed sit back and enjoy one of the many dishes created by our team of experts who will tempt you with their creative flair providing some of the very best examples of modern cuisine.”
