Following a ú1 million development programme throughout the hotel in 2000, all bedrooms have been entirely refurbished and offer every modern facility. A large number of rooms are ideal for families. Guests can enjoy the informal environment and international cuisine of the new Brasserie Restaurant and relax in the contemporary, colourful bar. The indoor leisure facilities offer the chance to workout or wind down. Local places of interest include Drayton Manor Park, Alton Towers, Cadbury World and the NEC.
